Dakota 283 is passionate about the working dogs and handlers that keep us in a safer more secure world by putting themselves at risk. These dogs are the heroes of Dakota 283 and this film brings us to Georgia K9 National Training Center in Oregon with retired police K9 handler and now professional trainer, Jeff Schettler.
