Ouch! It works

I found another length of re-bar so one got driven in and the other one got dug in as it was too bent to drive. I watered in that one really well and then hooked it all up.

It didn't want to work at first but walking around some of the foil strips we put on for visibility had slipped over to the posts and were grounding it all out there. Once that was sorted the pup got his first shock and hasn't gone back for seconds.

So he got to play for 4 hours off his cable and is a MUCH happier puppy!

Last question. Since I'll have the charger at the house could I just tie into my houses grounding rod?

NO! Read any electric charger manual.

No.

We have used a lightening rod ground, worked well, but you can mess up real sensitive electronics tying into the electrical ground, along with other issues....
