Dogs trashing on jumped coyotes

[Highlife]

Every time I exercise the dogs. Coyotes run literally up in the pack and the dogs blow up and start a race on coyotes. Can’t get the older dogs to stop no matter what. Younger ones will stop and come back. Don’t want to take the coyotes out and make the dogs think that we’re hunting. Any suggestions on what to do? After the race is over the coyotes follow us back to house, howling and barking behind us the whole way back.

I just make sure I have a good handle on my hounds.. sometimes that includes using the e collar if thats what it takes... but with that being said for what ever reason seems like I have a coyote race once or twice a year.. usually just with the male dogs .. Here is a little video I put together and in it you can see and here a coyote really giving my hounds hell .. and they really really wanted to go get him lol

Thank you sir for the advice, and thank you for the awesome video.

Sometimes you get one coyote or a pair that are in the wrong spot and just wont leave things be. I had a pair den up in a side canyon from one of the main trails we had to use. Just had to go in and shoot them . just take some younger dogs in and chain them then get around to were you can shoot with out any issues. It can really develop into a issue in brushy areas where the coyotes are brazen and get in real close to the dogs.

Thank you peg leg, I’m going back in tonight and see if I can’t pick them off.

Set leghold traps and try to catch several coyotes in the same day.

Once you catch coyotes bring the hounds in the area, where you know they will find them.
Use an e-collar. Start at the lowest range and increase as needed and move on to the next coyote and do the same. It's important, the timing of the negative reinforcement. As soon as they stop thinking about back off and reward them. I ask them to sit next to me a few feet from the coyote and let them know it's unacceptable. If they are acting right, I reward them.

Repeat often, first days apart and then weeks or even months apart for a dozen or so times. Don't stop until they will not even think about it.

Catch them doing something right and reward them. If you can put them on the desired game on the same day, it will speed along the process.

Exactly what I thought, instead of accepting the offer on the table your squirming out of a challenge, I know how to hunt my dogs and so do my hunting friends, I want to see YOUR fur pullers that you claim are supreme beings, it’s real easy to talk dogs up behind a computer screen...Goose
