Advantages Of 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.

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.

If you are a hunter and not looking for a lot of hassles, the Garmin DC 40 collar may be just what you are looking for. It is very simple to install and use. In fact, you only need to put it on the dog and go. Hunters will have no problem knowing where their dogs are at all times, and if they are on the move or stationary. It is also possible to see how fast the dog is moving and track its traveling distance.

Perhaps you already have an Astro 320 or Astro 220 GPS system. This unit is compatible, so there will be no problems. If you like security features you are in luck. No one else will track the location of your dog, because the system cannot be monitored without inserting a special pin number. Dogs of all sizes can wear these collars as they are adjustable from as large as twenty inches or 50 centimeter, to as small as twelve inches or 30.5 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.
