A Closer Look At The Garmin DC 40 Collar

By Judy Sullivan


When it comes to GPS dog collars, there are some exiting new choices on the market today. You can choose from convenient features at affordable prices. Here is a look at the Garmin DC 40 collar and some of the good things you will find.

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.

Each GPS transmitter gives you a lot of range In fact, they broadcast as far as 11 kilometer or seven miles. However, range can vary a great deal, especially if your dog is traveling over regions that have many hills or obstructions like trees, so make sure to allow for the terrain. Updating positions is simple and you can select to receive updates every 5 seconds. You also have the option of receiving updates at 10, 15, 30, or even 120 second intervals.

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 that do want problems installing and taking care of their canine tracking devices, will appreciate the Garmin DC 40 collar. It is one of the easiest collars to operate that you can find. In fact, all you basically need to do is put it on the dog and go. You will have the ability to know where your dog is located whenever you need to. You also will know how far the dog moves and when it is standing still.

These types of GPS collars are compatible with the Garmin Astro 320 and 220 systems. You enjoy the kind of security you need as each unit cannot be operated without inserting your four digit pin code. This helps you maintain total privacy, and nobody else can track your dog, and know what you are doing. The GPS collars can fit a wide range of neck sizes as they are adjustable from 12 inches (32.5 centimeters) up to 20 inches (59 centimeters).

Your new Garmin DC 40 collar is shipped with its wireless transmitting unit. In the box, you will receive a power cable designed for automotive use. In addition, there is also an AC power adapter with a handy quick start manual to get going.

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.
