Default E-Collar for dog with dense hair

I picked up a garmin sport pro for my 10 month old GWP. She’s at the point now where I feel she’s ready, my only problem is her coat is so dense it’s hard to tell if the contact points are really touching her skin. I have tried both the long and short points that came with the collar, and I have wiggled the box to try and get through the hair but when I apply a nick or short continuous stimulation I’m not getting any sort of reaction from her at the lowest levels of stimulation.

It’s not that her hair is really long either, it’s just so thick. Am I looking at getting a spot thinned out? I don’t want to proceed until I know I can apply pressure consistently and fairly.
