The big box stores sell wireless/remote AC switches to control outside Christmas lights etc.  Check their web sites - I had to order mine for store pickup and it works fine on my fence charger used to keep out the local whitetail herd.

Make sure the charger has enough energy to do the job - small fence chargers for cats, dogs, rabbits, foxes, etc. won’t be very effective on large animals with thicker fur and hides.
