The problem with coyote is that they communicate every night by howling, and when known howls stop answering it causes the next set of litters to become larger.
It's not the best problem to have, because eventually, they will likely get your pets no matter how vigilant you remain with shooting them every month.
Or until you get smart enough to try something that's more likely to succeed, like keeping pets inside or in an enclosure.
You sound like a city dweller to think that pets should be inside or in an enclosure at all.
In any case, I personally don't see the point of owning a dog that would get owned by a coyote, but, that thought doesn't help OP. :shrugs:

You sound like a crybaby. "Sniff. It's not fair that my dog can't stay outside. No fair!”
It's not a question of should, it's a question of what will work and is practical. Exterminating coyotes is unlikely to succeed. Keeping your dog in the house at night is guaranteed to work.
