Go to your collar set up and turn on the bark indicator. It will work through cut collars also. You can also set the alerts for it and how many barks per minutes for the alerts. Who ever sold this to you should be glad to walk you through it...or you can give me a call and Ill be glad to help you out. Michael,

The bark indicator is GREAT if you have closed mouth dogs!
