Instructions

1

Stay calm and don't approach a coyote. Running can stimulate the animal's chase instinct.
2

Pick up any children or small pets around you to protect them from the coyote. If you can, Slowly move toward an area with other people or a building.
3

Maintain direct eye contact with the animal to show your dominance.
4

Yell loudly to scare off the animal. Use a whistle, gun, blaring music or pots and pans to create loud noises. Coyotes are timid by nature, and usually run away if challenged.
5

Throw sticks or rocks at the coyote to encourage the animal to leave. If you are by a hose, you can spray the animal.
