A Closer Look At The Garmin DC 40 Collar

By Judy Sullivan


When it comes to top tracking collars for dogs, you have some excellent selections currently available. Not all are the same and some have better features than others. Here are a few good reasons to check out the Garmin DC 40 collar, before you decide.

If you decide to buy this model, you receive a transmitter that is highly sensitive. Unlike some collars where you have little flexibility with use, you can remove this unit and place it on a number of different collars. This is important if your dog prefers certain collars. The transmitter has a battery that can last as long as 48 hours. Battery life depends on how long you set the unit to update.

If you need something with a lot of range, this unit is a good choice. You can track dogs as far away as seven miles (11.2 km). Yet, your actual range depends on the kind of conditions that the dog is in. For instance, nothing will track far in mountainous or hilly terrain. You have five options when it comes to when you wish to receive positional updates, and they range from as quick as five seconds to as long as every couple of minutes.

These new style tracking collars have been designed to take a lot of punishment. They will resist rain, snow, sleet, and all kinds of weather conditions, as they are made out of high impact and extremely durable polyurethane. These products are excellent for hunters that send their dogs through all kinds of difficult terrain. In addition, the collars are highly visible as they are hunter's orange.

Hunters not interested in a lot of hassles that can come with tracking, will find the Garmin DC 40 collar very convenient. There are not a lot of instructions to read and steps to take, as you basically place it on the dog's neck, and take off. This will give you vital information on the dog's whereabouts, when you need it. You can know when the dog is standing still or moving about, and how fast he or she is moving.

If you own an Astro 220 or 320 tracking system, this collar will fit right in, as it is made to be completely compatible. You enjoy a high degree of security and privacy as your system requires the use of a pin number. Without it, no one else can see what your dog is up to and where he or she is at. The collars are adjustable to fit many different size necks. You can choose between 30.5 centimeters or 12 inches, all the way up to 20 inches which is almost 59 centimeters.

Out of the box, you receive the wireless transmitting unit with your Garmin DC 40 collar. It comes with an AC powered adapter and the unit can also be charged on the go with the vehicle power cable. You also receive a handy manual to get started quickly.

With so many dogs lost each year, it makes sense to invest in a tracking system. This is good for dogs that sometimes escape or for hunting dogs that travel great distances. The Garmin DC 40 collar has a lot of benefits and is worth looking into.
