Is an electric fence dangerous?

One of the main concerns our customers who are completely new to electric fencing have is the question of whether electric fencing is actually safe to use, often in a domestic setting to deter unwanted visitors, but also to keep livestock within a specified area. Many of them have pets or perhaps young children in their gardens, or they’re new to keeping ponies and other animals. While they’re keen to use electric fencing, there’s a worry about the risk of electrocution.
