Working Dog Military Grade Travel Protection- Dakota 283 Hero Series
Elite One-Piece Roto-Molded Construction
Every Hero Kennel is molded in the USA from a single, seamless piece of military-grade polyethylene. This enhanced roto-molded shell eliminates weak points and provides extreme impact resistance, making it ideal for aggressive dogs, high-drive K9s, and demanding environments such as training grounds, working fields, and vehicle transport.
Maximum Security Door System
The kennel features a heavy-duty stainless-steel door designed to withstand pulling, pushing, and chewing. The triple-locking, slammable door allows one-handed operation while providing the highest level of containment security. Additional top and bottom pin latches and a keyed paddle latch add theft prevention and reinforcement for dogs with intense drive or escape behavior.
Built for Working Dogs & Tough Conditions
The Hero Kennel is made to perform in conditions where ordinary crates fail. Molded-in side handles provide a secure grip for lifting or vehicle loading. These handles also double as tie-down points for securing the kennel inside SUVs, trucks, UTVs, and specialized working dog vehicles. Small, strategically placed ventilation holes offer balanced airflow while preventing chewing damage — perfect for high-anxiety or destructive dogs.
Easy Cleaning & Low Maintenance
A rear drainage hole makes washouts quick and efficient, while the solid one-piece design prevents leaks, gaps, or trapped debris. Built to last for years of field work, travel, and daily use, the Hero requires minimal upkeep and resists weather, UV exposure, and heavy wear.
