Description

Founded in 2013, Dakota 283 was created with a simple vision: bring our military molding experience to create unparalleled pet protection for dogs and enhance the adventure of the tailgate lifestyle. Our top-of-line dog kennels and pet products are built to stand the test of time and protect your beloved pet. The G3 is the kennel for ultimate pet protection. It is created in one solid piece to hold up on all the adventures you and your dogs take, with our ultra-secure lock for peace of mind. The Dakota T1 Kennel has a lower profile than our standard kennels and is designed to easily fit in the back of a pick up under a Tonneau cover. This Kennel is significantly lighter than the original Kennebec model and features a rear handle for easy lifting. It is molded in one solid piece and available in 2 colors. The D283 Hero Kennel is constructed of military grade materials developed and tested in the harshest environments. This kennel is perfect for those that have aggressive dogs or those who are just looking for an additional layer of security. Astounding for military, police, or hunting dogs, the D283 Hero Kennel has triple door locking capability, stainless steel door, and components that provide the ultimate in Unparalleled Pet Performance. The Kennebec Kennel is the original tough and long-lasting dog kennel created by Dakota 283. These durable crates are manufactured using the same process used to make industrial-strength military cases. The walls are tough and rugged to absorb impact while the corners remain virtually impervious to crushing, cracking, and other damage. G3 T1 Hero Kennebec Crate training is an important time for puppies and the size of the kennel will be critical to success. Rather than buying smaller kennels and sizing up as the dog ages, Dakota 283 uses our Forever Inserts that allow you to adjust the interior size of the kennel until the dog grows into the kennel. We offer this cost-saving product in our medium, large, and extra-large G3 kennels. Dakota Guard is an environmentally and food-grade safe additive that is included in small quantities during production to protect your pet’s health and safety from the invisible world. Just another way Dakota 283 is committed to keeping your pets safe! Founded in 2013, Dakota 283 was created with a simple vision: bring our military molding experience to create unparalleled pet protection for dogs and enhance the adventure of the tailgate lifestyle.

    • Sanity saved with this kennel!
Size: Medium Color: Dark Granite
Review Image by Katie
Review Image by Katie
I have been searching for a kennel to save my sanity!! I have a kelpie/heeler mix that has severe anxiety with storms and car rides. We’ve tried all kinds and he tears them apart and finds ways to escape them and I’m left to wrestle him out of my lap while trying to drive. I am so impressed with this one! It’s sturdy, all one piece (aside from the door), so there’s no where for him to escape from. The wire on the door is small enough squares that he can’t get his mouth around it to pull it apart. He settled right in and I didn’t hear a peep out of him for the 3 hour journey. The medium size is what I have, fits him perfectly at 60lbs. Snug enough that he seems to feel safe but big enough he can turn around inside and lay down. It’s light weight enough I had no trouble getting it and out of my car. I have a small SUV, no trouble there. It comes in once piece also so no assembly needed. He likes it so well, I think I may see if this helps his anxiety in the storms. It’s more expensive than I wanted to spend but you can’t put a price on your sanity and your pups safety! ... show more

    • Built Like a Tank—but Measure Your Dog First (oops)
Size: Medium Color: Blue
We were hoping this would be the one—the kennel that could take a beating, keep our dog safe, and last us for years on the road. And in many ways, it delivered. From the second it showed up, you could tell this wasn’t your average plastic crate. Thick walls, a sturdy door, and ventilation that actually makes sense (with holes on all sides). It’s basically the fortress of dog crates. Why It Worked for Us: • Super rugged. You could probably drop this thing out of a truck and it’d survive. • Latch is metal and lockable—huge peace of mind if you’re storing this outside or in a truck bed. • The built-in handle makes moving it around easier (though not easy—more on that below). • Ventilation holes are actually useful and well-placed. What Fell Short: • Our dog didn’t. Literally. He didn’t quite fit. Length-wise it’s fine, but the overall internal space side to side felt cramped for our large pup to turn around. • It’s heavy. Not the end of the world, but if you’re moving it in and out often, your back might not love it. We’re actually considering sizing up because the build quality is that good. But for dogs on the bigger side, double-check dimensions before committing. ... show more

    • Best Medium dog crate available
Size: Medium Color: Orange
Review Image by ArkansasMark
Review Image by ArkansasMark
1. My 20 lb Blue Heeler puppy broke out of my last two dog carriers. (He has never been in a crate for more than 3.5 hours, but I rescued him, and he has separation anxiety.) After his escapes created a bad habit, I corrected the dangerous habit with this wonderful MEDIUM kennel. He tried (evidence of teeth scratches on the door -- see photo) but couldn't get his mouth around anything. He can't destroy it, so now he doesn't try anymore. The seamless design gives him almost nothing to chew/grab on other than the chew toy I leave in the create with him. 2. Dogs instinctively feel safe in a den, not a cage. Unless there is a heat problem, a solid one-piece kennel makes my dog feel more secure than any cage (or doghouse). My dog happily naps in it throughout the day. He feels more like he is hiding in the bushes than in a jail. 3. The handle design is located, so I can carry it alone and NEVER rip the handle off. The MEDIUM kennel fits in the back seat of a truck. My (now grown) 30 lb adult Blue Heeler has more than enough room (see photo). *NOTE: Without a thick pad, it would be too big for short, bumpy hunting trips in the back of a truck (because he could fly around inside), but for long road trips and being kenneled overnight at any location, it is the ideal amount of room. People argue about ideal kennel size, but the purpose and length of time the dog is expected to be in the kennel are essential factors. Kennel size = Do they need to stretch as much as possible for overnight motel & and family stays, OR do they need to easily brace themselves to avoid injury during short, exciting offroad hunting trips (when they'll get frequent exercise and stretching breaks)? 4. This is the best dog carrier I've ever owned and the first one I feel may outlast my dog. 5. It is easier to clean than most. 6. I did not buy this for car wreck safety, but I feel confident it is all I will ever need when transporting my dog. I'm 200 lbs, and I can jump up and down on it. You can pay twice as much for a more robust crate, but I don't think it would improve a dog's safety. If this crate does not survive a wreck, no other creature in the vehicle will likely survive. My point is that it doesn't matter if a dog kennel can survive being dropped onto concrete from a ten-story building when nothing inside it would survive the impact. I highly recommend this dog kennel. ... show more

    • A must for escape artist dogs
Size: Large Color: Olive
Absolutely a must for anyone with a Houdini dog. Our anxious Catahoula is safe and secure in this. Incredibly sturdy and well-made. It has given us the ability to leave our dog for the day without concerns about him getting injured unlike his previous crates.

Great quality kennels for the money! Very sturdy and weight is good, 2 mediums fit in a 2014 kia forte with seats down or you can fit one with one seat up. The only thing is the door latch seems a little cheap but I’ll keep an eye on it and if I have any issues update here!

    • 2 Medium Crates fit 2023 Lexus RX350

Review Image by Book Worm
I bought 2 medium Dakota283 and they fit in the back of a 2023 Lexus RX 350. My two dogs are 55 lb each. Still plenty of room for luggage. I did the research and it was a toss-up between the Dakota or Ruffland. The gate and latch are much sturdier on the Dakota. Easy to lift into the car with the handle. Nothing to assemble. I wish they would make color coordinated keys for each crate to lock. They are expensive, but probably the only crate you'll ever need to buy. ... show more

    • Quality construction and hardware, this kennel will last forever
Size: Medium Color: Coyote
This is my second Dakota 284 kennel, which I bought because we got another dog. I like how sturdy the kennel is and the quality hardware they use for the door and latch. While bulky, it's pretty easy to move around. It stays in my vehicle 100% of the time and we bring them into our hotel rooms when we travel with the dogs. ... show more
