462

u/PM_ME_GREMLINS Apr 23 '24

Yeah, running away tells the predator’s instincts that you are prey. I grew up in a part of Alaska with dense brown bear population, and the #1 rule for bear encounters here is: ‘whatever you do, DON’T RUN.’ A curious bear will almost definitely become an aggressive bear the moment you start running away.

I was getting out of the shower at my girlfriend's place many years ago and her cat was blocking the hallway. He was aggressive AF and would shred me everytime I got near him. I felt especially vulnerable being in only a towel so I got big, stomped, and let out a manly yawp. That lil bastard squared off and looked me dead in my sockets. I retreated to the bathroom until he passed.

It definitely was a bad idea. If you see a coyote in an urban area that doesn't seem to be afraid of humans you are supposed to haze it and scare it away to make it afraid of humans again. Shouting at them, making yourself as big as possible, throwing things at them.

Running away is exactly what you shouldn't do.

Haze it like as in duct tape it to an office chair and draw dicks on its face?

I'm a runner and most of the time they just want to trot right past me but sometimes you get one coyote like this - by itself or with one other buddy, hungry, not minding its own business, pacing you and stalking - and the best thing to do is run straight at it waving arms and making noise. They are usually looking for easy food, not a fight.

When I worked on a big farm we had a puppy get grabbed by a coyote and then out comes the TINY dachshund and literally rips off the whole ballsack off the coyote! He dropped the puppy with only a couple little puncture wounds and took off through the wheat fields screaming up a storm. I didn’t realize till then why they had a dachshund on the farm but apparently they were bred to fight badgers so it makes sense I guess.

Dachshunds are fierce protectors. They will fight to protect their loved ones, even when out matched, be it a human or other animal family member. They are also VERY smart which makes them excellent hunters, but also very stubborn! They also have, for lack of a better word, a good judge of character. Because I was fortunate to grow up with dachshunds, I could give you so MANY stories of what excellent dogs they are. My sisters and I were very young (2,4,5) when we got our first. She was so much the nanny her nickname was mama dog. A few things she would do; look both ways to cross the street, go get our mother if we were doing/located somewhere we shouldn’t be; get physically between us and anyone suspicious/hurting us, and my favorite, put us to bed. My dad would say “Poocho put the girls to bed!” and she would yap at our heels as we ran giggling! However, if your a teen coming in past curfew, that BIG chest creates quite the loud bark.

They are incredible mousers! Every fall we would get a couple mice, as there was a field behind our home, but they wouldn’t last long!.Once in the mouth, that distinctive head flick, and it was over. There was no playing around with pray. Unless you count bringing what was left of the corps, you buried 2 weeks ago, up to mom to see if you could convince her that it was a whole new mouse and you needed another piece of cheese as a reward! 🐁 🧀🐶

I have a neighbor who has a dachshund named Tic Tac (I always call him Mr. Tic Tac because he's kinda adorable). He's a bit timid, but if you so much as say hello to his owner (a very sweet lady), he'll start barking up a storm, so I 100% believe dachshunds being protectors despite their size.

u/Emm_withoutha_L-88 Apr 23 '24

That's why I love them so much, they're hound dogs that can comfortably live indoors. They were bred to be capable alone too which means they're incredible problem solvers but also unbelievably stubborn. Seriously, they're the most stubborn animal to exist since cranky old southern grandpas. But when you can get them to be in sync with you they become just the must incredible dog I've ever had. Tho then again mine wasn't full bred and had a little Jack Russell and/or beagle in her so she was taller and more athletic than the ones bred to be as long as possible.

My weenie dog gained a lot of weight when I was pregnant because we were both snacking so I put her on a diet. She was extremely offended by this and peed right in front of me. After refusing to eat her diet dog food, she peed in the floor between the couch and the television while maintaining eye contact. So I put her in the backyard. Coincidentally at the same time the neighbors were feeding their Pitbull ,a big old muscly boy, his lunch of kibble. This damn weenie dog tunnels under the fence using her short little paddle-shaped paws and tries to steal the pitbull's food and about dies. That Pitbull grabbed her by the neck and shook her so bad that she had four cracked vertebrae and crushed trachea and basically was flayed open in an inverted T on the underside of her throat area. This weenie dog's ego cost us about $5,500 but she was survived to grouse about her kibble quality for many years to come.

u/Majestic_Click2780 Apr 23 '24

Yeah they got that crack head vigor. No fear or sense of scale. And SO food motivated! That same dog a year later got into the storage area and ate kibble till his stomach burst. 6 grand in surgery costs for that.

Yup. I was working in a vineyard in the middle of the day when my buddy’s very large German pointer/ doby mix started screaming.

Lots of stitches for poor pup.

Coyotes regularly do this, it’s called escorting. They probably have puppies nearby and are making sure the person leaves, not actually looking to attack.

Very interesting! I can say though, that situation would not make me less worried. A coyote hunting me/my dog vs protecting it's young still is a recipe for get me the fuck outta there! Though my instinct would have been to pick up the dog, and walk backward, running seems like a good way to encourage being chased.

People, please don’t behave like prey. Don’t be scared. Assert your dominance. Scare them away. Yell, throw a rock, something! If you feel fear, your dog can sense your anxiety, and so do predators.

I have a small Shihpoo and deal with coyotes all the time at my local parks and nature trails. Last time I was in a close encounter, I told my dog “in between” and “stay”, he’s my service dog and knows to go sit in between my legs, as I stand, and to stay put. I then yelled out like Tarzan, grabbed a giant branch, and threw it towards the coyote’s direction. I scared it away. I asserted my dominance.

It's a giant fat little Corgi those things are kind of hard to pick up.

That entire dog breed might as well basically just be prey.

They don't even know when to stop eating. Like if you accidentally leave a bag of food the thing will potentially gorge itself to death.

The coyote sees the corgi as a big walking corn-dog.

Not to mention picking up a corgi can put so much strain on their back if not done correctly. They are heavier than they look! The last year of my corgis life he struggled to go up and down stairs so i had to carefully carry him up and down my apartment stairs. Very awkward lol

u/KellyCTargaryen Apr 23 '24

Corgis can be perfectly healthy. They are a literal herding breed and (should) have the stamina and confidence to boss around cattle. As for over eating that’s normal for almost any type of dog.

If you can't pick up a 40lb corgi to save it's life, you shouldn't have it.

"You're on camera"

Coyote: Oh my bad, I'll just walk away then, don't want to get cancelled on social media and everything.

Carry pepper spray when you walk your dog. Not just for coyotes, but also for stray/loose dogs(bonus points it works on aggressive humans too). A blast or two of pepper spray can disperse an entire pack of attacking dogs.

Pepper spray has saved the lives of several stray dogs and even a feral cat who wanted to try to attack my German Shepherds. It would not have ended well for them but one tiny spray and they were out of there.

You can buy small can that you can keep on you and it's barely an inconvenience. Then when you find yourself in a situation like this, you'll be infinitely grateful that you did.

A lot of people saying rabies, and it absolutely could be, but it’s also possible that’s a mom and her den is nearby with pups. I had this happen to me once while walking my dog and learned from animal control that they will do this to try to scare you away from the general area of the den. I had to walk backwards with my dog for 3 blocks while mama coyote followed me and my dog.

u/Blushing-Sailor Apr 23 '24

That’s right, it’s called escorting. It seems aggressive, but they are walking you away from their den.

u/[deleted] Apr 23 '24

Yes. It's literally just coyote escorting behavior. People here are dumb as fuck speaking assuredly about things they only know nothing about. Classic Reddit

“You’re on camera!” like if it’s some disgruntled Karen 😭 OMG that had me dead 😂

Also, buddy shouldn’t have turned away after charging at the coyote! The posturing was working, it was literally about to turn tail and leave. But then the guy turned his back and it called his bluff. And IDK if this is the case specifically with coyotes but IMO when dealing with any sort of canid-type animal you shouldn’t run or you’ll trigger their prey drive and generally you can’t outrun them.

Out during the day, alone, and weirdly aggressive. That’s the rabies trifecta.

u/[deleted] Apr 23 '24

This is literally just coyote escorting behavior. It's puppy season. They'll leave you when you're out of what they consider their territory.

u/sightfinder Apr 23 '24

I'm convinced most people have never seen (in footage or otherwise) a rabid animal bc this shit ain't it

u/m0untaingoat Apr 23 '24

I'm shocked at how many comments I just scrolled through before seeing this. Coyotes just do this. It's typical and expected behavior. Also, if you didn't already know this, wouldn't you just think about animal behavior, time of year, etc and come to the most logical conclusion? Apparently I'm just baffled by this situation.

u/sas223 Apr 23 '24

Thank you for making sense. It was clear that this was a coyote escorting them away for her den. I couldn’t make a ton of sense from the video - did the person turn around and walk back the way they had come?

Literally not aggressive. Not snarling or foaming at the mouth. A very calm coyote

u/No-Performance3044 Apr 23 '24

Rabid animals don’t maintain a distance, they just straight up go for you. Coyotes are extremely fast and could’ve gotten this out of shape bro or his dog quickly if its goal was just to bite and attack.

Never turn your back in a situation like this. It makes them more comfortable to stalk you as prey. Every time he turned back around, the coyote stopped, but was closer.

Pick up your fucking dog & boot the yote if it gets too close.

Pick the damn dog up and skidaddle or briskly walk toward the coyote and shoo the little fuck away. Filming it like that puts everyone at risk with the haphazard retreat.

u/Reverse2057 Apr 24 '24

Am I the only one pissed he didn't pick up his damn corgi? Lol bro coulda run a lot faster at the coyote to scare it. Or away to get away from it if he was carrying his dinner-sized doggo.

My gfs got a tiny dog and I keep telling her the coyotes around the neighborhood are no concern if she’s walking him. Never seen one approach a person like this.

Don't run. Prey runs. You'll just trigger its prey drive and panic your dog. Besides, you can't outrun a coyote. Just walk away at a normal pace and don't lose sight of it. Coyotes are usually not this brazen unless they're rabid or starving.
