Coyote Hazing How To

As a Professional Dog Walker I run into all sorts of situations that require a quick response and a cool head about you.

This morning was just such an occasion. I had a coyote tracking us. Knowing the SMART technique I gathered the pups next to me and took a stand, big and bold. This incident is a common one here in San Diego. Too many times pups are snatched from the end of a leash because people are not paying attention to their surroundings.

Here are some simple adjustments you can make to keep you and your pets safe:

• ​Adjust your ear bud usage to one bud only so you can hear whats coming.
• Use a standard loop handled leash. These 6' leashes give you the ability to react quickly and in control. Put your hand through the loop so it is secure on your hand giving you the split second response needed to grab, lift and protect your pet.
• Ditch the retractable leash! These extened leads and grip handles do not give you the control necessary to stop a Coyote snatch!
• Know how to do the Coyote Hazing technique! Watch this video to educate and protect yourself and your pup.

Please share these tips with your friends and neighbors.
