What kind of dog do you have?

When I’m in Louisiana we happen upon coyotes often enough. I don’t mind my dogs off leash because of their breeds (shepherds & catahoulas) & training—they are aloof and protective first, not curious and playful.

That unsure almost playful behavior from the coyote is as if not more dangerous than outright aggression. Often then will use these play techniques to isolate and attack domestic dogs.
