As coyote pups mature, they become independent and venture further from their home-range. At this time of year, young coyotes begin to leave their family pack. These juvenile coyotes are inexperienced when compared to older coyotes. Hazing fledgling coyotes is essential to keeping them wild, in the wild and afraid of people. How does hazing young coyotes prevent problem behavior? Deters development of bad habits. Family pack elders teach pups how to hunt and forage. If adult coyotes feel comfortable going through trash in someone’s backyard, it will teach pups to do the same. Reinforces fear of people. Hazing a skittish coyote creates even more unease around people. Reverse the notion that humans are quiet observers; there is no risk. Wild animal should perceive humans as an avoidable risk. And so to protect themselves, they should avoid humans as much as possible. It’s easier to train a canine than re-train learned behavior. The phrase ‘you can’t teach an old dog new tricks’ is applicable to canines, especially the undomesticated coyote. Creates an uncomfortable environment near residential areas. If a young coyote encounters hazing in a park or backyard with people, it might think twice about stepping foot in the area again. Hazing works best when it’s a community-wide effort. Let your neighbors know if you see a coyote. Talk to neighbors about how to react during an encounter. Learn how to minimize coyote visits in your back yard. For more information about hazing, watch the City of Torrance video. Visit our website www.TorranceCA.gov/coyotes for resources and to report coyote activity. The Coyote Management Portal is experiencing technical difficulties. To report coyote activity call the 24-hour Coyote Hotline at (310) 618-3898 or email POrenstein@TorranceCA.Gov. Please use the Microsoft Edge Browser to access the Coyote Portal to submit a report online.    TORRANCE AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BUSINESS EXPO Thursday, October 19 |4:30 - 7:30 P.M. | FREE Torrance Marriott Redondo Beach 3635 Fashion Way Come check out the first ever City Walk showcasing 8 City of Torrance department booths on Thursday October, 19 starting at 4:30 p.m. at the Torrance Marriott Redondo Beach.
