That low? Well, I stand corrected. In that case, the 0.8J plug in should be adequate. The ones sold at tractor supply do not indicate they are for large species until you get into the J range of mine, or "larger/longer" rated fences.

Distance from fence to the ground rod(s) is the issue. If you have a charger in one corner, the opposite corner is the furthest distance from the ground rod, and the charge there is weakest.

Absolutely it would. Much of my problem is that I'm on a hill in FL (I know how stupid that sounds) with clay soils. Essentially, some of the worst ground you can have for conducting a charge. Water runs off, it doesn't soak in. Closest standing groundwater is 40' elevation below me, and the...

The fence itself is fine, its just the charger that's a bit weak.This is what I use (to protect a much larger area, about 5 acres). Most of the time, in spite of adding numerous additoinal ground rods, I'm not convinced it would stop a bear - though it has stopped a wild hog, and hog-hunting...

SOLAR? or Plug IN? The Solar is rated at 0.25J Good for rabbit, squirrel, cat, small dogs, not much else. The Plug-in is rated at 0.8J Not enough, in my view - I don't know any Mfg that claims a .8J potential will stop anything larger than a big breed dog or a goat. Maybe you get lucky...

If it won't harm a dog, it won't harm a bear. That said, a shock that will deter a bear - particularly if you bait the hot wires, is not dangerous to a dog. and in case there is any lack of clarity in my choice of words. A splinter or a thorn does you "harm", but its not "dangerous". The...
