Coyotes will often attempt to engage family dogs in “play” to lure them out of yards where the pack then kills them.
Some of the friendly breeds may not understand the difference between “friendly stray dog” and “wild dog who will eat me”.
After decades of Dobermans, I wound up with Ibizans who are a “primitive” breed and very pack-oriented....but only towards *their* pack.
All other dogs/canids are considered interlopers.
I know they've heard the coyotes, based on their behavior in the yard a few nights.
If it were deer they were hearing, they'd bounce around baying, wanting to give chase.
For the coyotes, they all stand at the back fence, listening, silently, with agitated postures and hackles up.
Regardless, I stay outside with them after dark until they're done, just in case.
We had a fox that liked to “play” with our dog....but never thought of it as trying to lure her out of the yard. The fox was persistent, however.
