• If a coyote has ….
• If a coyote has not been hazed before, they may not immediately run away when you yell at them. If this happens, you may need to walk toward the coyote and increase the intensity of your hazing.
• The coyote may run away, but then stop after a distance and look at you. It is important to continue hazing the coyote until it leaves the area. People may need to use different tactics, such as noisemakers, stomping your feet or spraying the coyote with a hose to get them to leave.
Dog-Walking Tools There are several tools that you can carry with you while walking your dog that can be used to repel coyotes. These include:
• Homemade noisemakers.
• Whistle or small air horn (there are small air horn necklaces people can purchase).
• Squirt guns.
• Sticks or other objects to throw toward (but not at) the coyote After someone has successfully hazed a coyote, it may return. Continue to haze them; it usually takes only one or two times to haze away a coyote for good.
