Big issue out here, the coyotes have adapted very well, they come into very urbanized areas by traveling in the canyons. One came through a dog door and killed a pet. Another one attacked a dog on a leash. Sorry for the pets but you have to respect the coyotes territory.

my dogs just chased a coyote out of our yard (which is also their yard cause it's just FS land). They do it at least once every day and the neighbors appreciate it (when it's not after midnight or before 7am).

Coyotes nabbing small dogs and cats around here all the time...
Pretty constant visitors to the homestead, but as of yet, not aggressive toward our dog. They are about the same size so that might help.
A chubby meatloaf of a dog lives down the way and will engage with them on a regular basis... I think the coyotes know she is a fearsome warrior trapped in a 12 pound package and don't mess with her, except to play. Odd sight

One time I was walking my dog at night in SF on Bernal Hill:
Middle of a city surrounded on three sides by water. My dog was cruising around and out of the corner of my eye, in the darkness, I see something charge at her. Now I'm sure that coyote thought it was going to snatch some city slicker pet and make a quick meal out of it. But my dog was a straight up New Mexico pound mutt, raised running loose in Northern NM. She got her paws up and whooped that coyote's ass.

Yotes are so prevalent here that they've nabbed small dogs right off the leash. Hazing has no effect. No more rangy hungry look, they look more like large German Sheperds who've never missed a meal.

Yeah, here in the LA suburbs the coyotes are living in the bushes in the burbs, not just traveling into them at night. My cats are so jumpy from constantly being hunted but I have given them multiple ways to escape if they need to.

My step daughter lives in Vista with a canyon behind her place. It's a great place to introduce the toddlers to the outdoors, but when we take them down there we keep them close because of the coyotes.

Some vato told me.
He lived up the street and was the self appointed 'hood' monitor. He watched it sit on the porch for a reported twenty-five minutes, went about his mid-day creep and returned to see it still there an hour later.
However, haven't you heard of the ring?

hey there say, all... thanks for all the shares, here... this is really interesting...
we used to see coyotes on south padre island, in pairs-- they'd never
venture too close... (we were out fishing) ...
didn't have a dog, then, though...
now, as to this:
In other words, I suppose if you meet a random dog, it is vastly more likely to attack you than would a random coyote. In either case there's basically nothing to worry about, although getting threatened by dogs is a common experience.
this is VERY true, too... :(
also-- in the delta area... or, brentwood, where my friend from childhood now lives-- well:
when she first moved out there and had her young daughter... she was
out on the porch with her one day... baby in stroller...
went in for something for the baby, and came back out pretty fast, AND,
just in TIME to a coyote pressing in... from the grasses...
she never did know, nor wanted to know, just how close it would have come,
or-- what else could have happened... :O
i can remember, way back, being a kid, when 'some disney show'???
was on--
something about a coyote on an ADVENTURE though los angeles...
they sure do KNOW that they SHOULD be free to roam:
but, wow, sadly, dog, and city folks don't mix with those coyotes...
my twins buddies have had them hang around their ranch, too...
they almost would prefer hearing the wolves around, they said,
than, the coyotes...
i think, due to the fact that the coyotes were a LOT more sneaky...
and, at least they could HEAR WHERE the wolves were...

But my dog was a straight up New Mexico pound mutt, raised running loose in Northern NM. As a cyclist, I hate those things with a passion -- they're the reason you can't ride near Chimayo -- but a small part of me still respects their survival skills.

Yeah, but wolves will kill stuff just for fun. Everything I've seen coyotes kill... they at least eat.
Yotes absolutely LOVE to eat domestic cats here and will hunt them in packs of 4-8 or so.

A block from Chez Moi...
I wasn’t tempted to take it away from him. I also didn’t mourn the puddy given the millions of
wee birdies unrestrained cats kill each year.

It happens here fairly often. Locally a dog was killed in the front yard while the owner was getting ready to take it for a walk. This in a suburb but canyons are never too far.
When I lived next to a canyon here I would see them come up to the fence at night to size up our dog. New neighbors often lost their cats as they let them roam. You could hear the pack of coyotes call out every night

Crawled in a den and pulled this one out. Let my dogs play with it then stuck it back in the den. Pretty cute when not killing your critters.

I had to build a fairly elaborate fence to protect our
pets from coyotes. I guess it's what you gotta do as a
responsible dog/cat owner. Luv seeing the coyotes though.

When I was working in Chelan friends told me how a local coyote pack would send a lone bitch in heat out to attract loose male dogs; then the pack made an easy dinner.

Winemaker, back years ago when I used to go to Joshua Tree, there were rumors the coyotes there used to do that too.
Here in SLC they are pretty common in the foothills and bordering suburbs. You'd better be careful with small pets.
On the other hand, my 100lb labrador chased one away on a hike a few years ago.

This is what I get for not having a DOG to bounce these f*#kers out of the yard.
[Click to View YouTube Video]
That's my *yard box* they're piling over at the beginning. I keep a couple bottles of wine in there!
It looks like one has figured out that avocados are edible.
I shot the video from the comfort of the Kite Office, 100 yards away, at first light.
The only problem I have with the coyotes is they chew the irrigation lines in my avocados to get water. I wish they wouldn't do that.
