Your service ground and the fence charger ground should be no less that 50 ft. apart.
Check where the charger is plugged in and make sure the hot and neutral are connected on the proper terminal screws on the receptacle. I found that problem on a neighbors electric tobacco stringer wasn"t wire correct and the machine would shock the folks laying the leaves on the conveyor. The black wire should be hot and on the bronze colored screw in the receptacle. Then go to the barn panel to see if the wires are landed correct. Then the panel in the house too. If someone made a mistake that could be the problem.
Check the voltage at the ground rods for the fence. Use a digital fence charger meter to check this. Check right on top of the rods. With the charger on the voltage on top of any of those rods should be no more that 3 hundred volts. If it"s more that"s where the problem is. Anything over 300 volts the rods aren"t enough ground and it"s going back to your house rod looking for more ground. If it"s over 300 volts add more rods until the voltage to ground is below 300 volts.
I have one charger with 11 ground rods on it. Most have 5. Depends on the soil.
Fence charger ground rods have to be replaced over time. Over time the pulse voltage pits the ground rods and loses earth connection. Ground rods for fence chargers should be 8 ft. long and spaced no less that 10 ft. apart.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
