Title: Dogs and Coyotes
Post by: BriarBay on February 11, 2016, 09:56:36 am
Those of y'all they keep dogs on chains in coyote country. What do you do to prevent the dogs from getting attacked?  I don't have the option of fencing in the entire area, so I'm looking for things I can do to keep my dogs from getting attacked or killed by coyotes. Any ideas?  I know the obvious like trapping etc... But any scents or anything like they to keep them away?

We've got lots of coyotes here. I keep 4 dog's on chains out in the pasture and I've never had an issue.  Course im always out there takin a leak and feeding dogs. Lol. Maybe that helps

Thats what I do to. Not to close or they'll get hung up. Just close enough to where they can stretch out and lick each other . if that makes since.

I have coyotes around here and theyve never messed with my dogs, even when I just had rat terriers, they stay away

Yeah never had much problem and the yotes are thick around our area. We hang snares and get atleast 1 a week if I can keep the snare pile built up enough to keep hanging new ones

How long do you make your chains?
