Put one of these motion alarms out so you don't have to wait up at all hours of the night, have your gun ready, pointed out the window or where ever you shoot from. Scatter some cheap dog chow in front of the sensor, use chow because if you put a chunk of meat they will take it and run where as the chow they have to pick it up one at a time which gives you plenty of shot opportunity. Put a piece of electrical tape over the red light on the sensor as it blinks when activated and can scare them. If you need extra light put a couple of those $5 solar lights in the chow area. You can extend to range of the unit by adding some speaker wire onto the internal antenna, a few screws hold it together, pretty easy. You can add more sensors to one receiver because they are on the same frequency. Sorry about your dog. https://www.harborfreight.com/wireless-driveway-alert-system-93068.html

A piece of advice from a farm owner, if you are in semi residential area, leave the pistol in the drawer and the rifle in the rack. Take a 12ga 3" modified with #3 buck, put your bait out about 30 yards, so the #3 pattern covers a yote or fox end to end. Bust him, if he runs off, just let him go. You put 5 or 6, #3 balls on him and he ain't coming back. I do not give a RS if a fox or cayote crawls off and dies. Vermin, I shoot period. I consider untreated canines of any type vermin. I have turkeys, deer and quail on the place, that I feed. Oh, we had a roving pack of wild pit bulls (8-9), come on the place, they be gone.
Here bouts we can hunt vermin with a light and a suppressor at night, I have both, but I have found by experience, that #3 buck is absolute death on skunks, foxes, bobcats, coyotes and smaller wild hogs within 30 yards. Now if I stack a #3 and then 00 I can put a 12ga 391 Beretta with a barrel mounted high intensity white light with a forearm mounted palm switch to work, real nice.

Wedgy,
The Harbor Freight alarm works great, but if you want to, you can just cut the wire to the red light. It will still otherwise work.
I had to paint mine camo because I use them to alert me to the "homeless" to that roam the levee behind my property, shopping in my neighbor's yards.
(Please, readers, no caliber suggestions. That's considered improper here waaay out west.)

Read an article in the cattleman's magazine: they used Pyrenees along with kuvas and some other dogs, can't remember, but went to using spiked collars on them all so predators didn't have as easy of time. Was pretty interesting. The Pyrenees would stay with the herd protecting it while the other dogs would run the predator down and kill it. If they didn't have both, the wolves figured out to lure the dogs away and have at the herd, and with only Pyrenees they wouldn't run down a tormenting predator so they needed a mix of guard dogs

A little ethylene glycol in some dog food will solve your problem... (antifreeze) takes two teaspoons to kill a canine. Crystalizes in the kidneys..
So sorry about your dog ..... Lots of coyotes in my neighborhood,they'd have to jump over a few fences to get to my 100lb Golden Retriever,he would not be passive. I keep him inside most of the time.

That is TERRIBLE to make a suggestion like that! In any case, POISONING is NOT THE WAY TO HANDLE YOTES! WE'RE NOT talking about RATS!

NOT TRUE! I KILL 1 outta a pack of 5 or 6, they run off, but ALWAYS COME BACK! I Strictly use BOLT ACTIONS, otherwise I'd KILL the ENTIRE PACK if I used my HK-93

He might growl, and even fight; but a single Yotes will KILL HIM! A PACK WILL TEAR HIM TO PIECES! KEEP him on his side of the FENCE Sir; Do NOT TEMPT FATE!

Interesting! I have a buddy who runs sheep and pigs up in the Peace country
. He is all about Kengals. They stay with the herd and dispatch anything that comes in pretty quickly from what I understand. Kengals have been bred for this purpose for thousands of years, fascinating breed.I have seen Weiner dogs with spiked collars, I'm not sure that would be much help in the OP's situation unfortunately.

@chopit I have a detailed article from a guy at my job who traps coyotes on his farm. It is insanely detailed step by step instructions to specifically target coyotes. He gets about 50-60 coyotes a year on his farm. PM me your email and I'll send you the article. Sorry about your dog. It was so good it was published in Georgia outdoor news. I'm the same way with my beagle. I wouldn't rest until the coyote was eliminated.

...you do not want your dogs fighting with them ~ as with anything wild, they carry rabies and other deseases. They're scavengers...
