Although coyotes live in many types of habitat, they typically prefer open areas. This might be one of the reasons we are seeing coyotes along the Ottawa River in the City of Ottawa.
How to protect your dog from coyotes.
1. Monitor your dogs when there are outside, even inside fenced yards.
2. Keep your dog on a leash when walking in park areas where there has been coyote sightings.
3. If you do see a coyote approach while walking your dog try yelling at the coyote, act aggressively and walk back slowly from coyote.
4. Keep a lid on your compost containers and secure your garbage containers.
5. All individuals have to be careful in areas where coyotes have been sighted. Coyotes have not only killed dogs,cats but humans too.
