Does the DC 40 collar weigh less than the DC 20 and 30 collars?

Never weighed them but holding one of each right now id say their close to the same weight. I'd trade my 40s for my old 30s collars in a heartbeat. I lose the 40s sometimes while I can still see my dog. Never had a problem with the 30s like that.

I don't know. All my dogs weigh less than 20 pounds and wear XS Thundershirts.

I haven't used the lighter versions of this specific weight vest, however people often tell me the vest looks small for 60lbs. Hope this helps with your question.

I put a bar with collars on a kitchen scale: 3.5 pounds. So the total set is 37 pounds. The only way you get close to 40 is to put everything in the case and carry that, which is pretty silly. So it's really false advertising.

To correct Ravyn, the DC17 weighs 20.79 lbs, the DC28 is 20.61 and the DC25 is 16.12 lbs. I own both the DC17 and the DC25 and I agree with the above sentiment that the DC17 can be hard on certain carpets due to its stiffer bristles. However it does seem to perform slightly better than the DC25, but the 25 is lighter and easier to use. I use the DC17 on our straight fiber carpets and the 25 on our loop fiber carpets and am quite happy with the results.I would suggest the newer models be looked into as well, the DC33 and the DC28.

It's probably not too heavy but may be a little big if their necks are small. The collar is adjustable but it is a 2inch x 3 inch block.

I'm not sure. I have a bigger dog around 70lbs and he likes to run and chase stuff mostly cars so I need a larger and stronger collar with the chain. The reflective part works great

Diameter is 1 inch, takes one inch collars. Length is 30 inches, when installed 8 inches extends to both sides to add weight. No weight restriction on the bar, however as stated below the weight of user plus added weight should not exceed 300 pounds.

I posted a similar question under the animal product review. Reply post indicates that the animal isn't worth the extra $50 over the DC25.

Linda, It's me again. In my first response I failed to mention that the DC 30 collar charger will not work on your DC 40 collar. If you were buying the unit new from Garmin (no longer possible) or a Garmin distributor the charger would be included. If it is coming through Amazon you are probably going to have to find a charger. I believe Garmin still has the chargers available at their web site.

I have a smaller terrier and it's a little bulky but not heavy for the dog, collar goes as small as u need it and u can cut excess down if u want, it comes with small studs to replace the Larger Ones if needed

They are in order, but 123 is for one collar & 456 controls the other. The shock strength does increase, but only low-med-high, not 1-6. There is a button in the center for vibration, and that activates both when pressed.

No for dc40 not 30 it is what wall charger plugs into then take off collar when using

I think the weight is 40 pounds from their website. I have large dogs and set the collars to the maximum setting. Start low and go up. Older dogs less, more aggressive or energetic go more and then go less after you have achieved control.

I don't believe there is one because the collar has a lot of adjustments for small necks versus extra large necks. However with a small dog I would suggest you only use the vibration setting or small voltage setting. It is also a good idea that humans test the voltage on themselves to understand what their dog is feeling. That way you can gauge if you are using too much voltage. I have a Labrador and I only use the vibration setting or low voltage setting.

To me they don't feel heavy at all, I have two very active 80- pound dogs and they don't seem to notice them at all when they're wearing them.if you roll the receiver/collar up it'll fit in the palm of your hand

My collars are used on my hunting beagles. It may look a little big but it does not weigh that much. I have to use the last hole in the collar, due to the GPS antenna on top, on my smaller females but they have never lost one in the brush. My beagles are 12 1/2" to 14" at the shoulders. The DC40 might be required for the terrier since they usually have smaller heads than a beagle.
