After a storm, there are a few things you should do to get your fence up and running properly:
If your fence is properly grounded and has a lightning protection device, always test the fence to make sure it still works after a storm before letting your dog out. If your fence isn’t working properly, keep your dog inside until you can fix it, otherwise, your dog could run through the fence and escape the yard. Check breakers that could have been tripped by any electrical surges from the storm. Check power to the outlet. If you have a GFCI outlet, in particular, it may need to be reset. Be familiar with your fence's warranty policy. If your fence was properly grounded and still received damage due to lightning, you may be eligible for a replacement.
By following these steps after a storm, you will be able to ensure that your pup will stay safely in his yard.
