I am glad that you understand about the dangers. I never thought that a coyote would COME IN MY YARD with 6 greyhounds. So I do now have a different area for the dogs, as sad as it is, they no longer have access to the whole 2.5 acres. Just think twice about the doggie door: or maybe have the door go to a small area that the hawks and such can't get the dive going to get the pooch.
