You need to have a grounding rod made of galvanized steel that is driven straight into the ground until only half an inch of bar is remaining above ground. The ground rod should be at least 6 feet in length. Drier land areas normally require a longer grounding rod, or more of them, spaced 10 feet apart. The ground rods themselves should be placed in [an] area[s] that are naturally permanently moist to have any effect. Then you have to run a grounding cable that is attached to the ground rod along the bottom or top of the fence (can be the top wire or bottom wire) all the way to the fence charger. This cable needs to be attached to the ground rod by ground rod clamps That grounding cable should be attached to that fence charger in order for the fence to be properly grounded.
