Coyotes in my driveway - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I know how you feel about the coyotes. We have had up to 4 coyotes in our front yard before. I have also heard them at night, sometimes right outside our fence. Luckily our back yard has a 6' fence all around it. Even had 2 coyotes run around the corner of our yard and into the street which almost ran into me early one morning. It was within 3-4 feet! We are constantly checking when we let the dogs outside just to be as careful as possible.

That sounds really scary I would have freaked out I think. Sorry you have to deal with coyotes.

Omg, this terrifies me. I live in San Diego and just recently we all received notices on our doors cautioning us to be very careful when we let our dogs out early in the morning and late at night. Where we used to live I used to see whole families of them often early in the morning. Needless to say, I walk out with my two when its late or super early.

We've actually been wanting to do something exactly like that in a small area on the side of our yard. Can you tell me more about your doggie run and how you got it? We've been looking at some pre-made ones and also talked to a contractor about building us something, but we haven't figured out the best way to go about this. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi there.. if you go to www.tinypawzbbb.com and under the heading facilities you will see the set up of my backyard. I will try and send pics as well I just don't know how to on here. I have lost one of my babies to coyotes so I do not take any chances now. Cheers, Laurie

Tiny Pawz Bed, Bark & Breakfast I think it is pic 22 (winter) which shows the kennel attached to our house with a tunnel to the doggie door. You could definitely make yours look nicer this needs a bit of renovating now. We purchased the kennel and it comes shipped in the panels. Costco carries a really nice one check them out online. I did this long before I opened Tiny Pawz it cost us about 1000.00 dollars to do.. as we poured a cement pad as well.

Thanks for sharing the pictures and how you set your kennel up! This is exactly like what we want to do, except we don't have as much space for it. I don't think we'd need the tunnel though because we want to put it right up against where the doggy door would be. I'll check out the ones at Costco. Your Tiny Pawz looks amazing, by the way. If I lived closer, I'd love to have Ivan and Iris stay with you.
