Got the Electric Fence set up in the Backyard to keep the animals and the Dog out of the Garden. Here is the problem.....
The Fencer says it does not need a Ground rod. I tried it with a Copper rod driven into the ground , and there was no electric going through the wire. So, I did it without the Ground rod. Used wood stakes to tie the wire around . When I got done, I plugged the fencer in. Grabbed a hold of the wire to see if it was fired up !! YEP !! it works!! Well, my Labrador Retriever plodded on over like a Work Horse to see what all the fuss was about. I figured he would stop once he got a zap.... NOPE!! He just stepped OVER the wire, and then proceeded to SIT ON THE ELECTRIC FENCE WIRE!!!
NOTHING!!! No Zap, tingle, nothing!!! He gets up and touches his nose to it, He just walked away..
Is this electric fencer defective ? Do I need a bigger charger???
