It is tough to domesticate the coyotes as dogs since they are wild animals. They have developed natural instincts to function wildly. In some few situations, people have successfully tamed the wild coyote. The best way to tame the animal is by starting the process when they are still young.

Is it safe to have a coyote as a pet?

Pet coyotes are rare outside of zoological facilities and individuals with licenses to hold them (often for 'educational' purposes) but owners do exist. They are not as commonly bred and sold like wolves and wolfdogs because they are regulated as native wildlife, making them illegal in most, or all states.

Can you befriend a coyote?

What should people do if they encounter a coyote? Coyotes are wary of humans—humans are bigger than they are—and will not approach us unless they have been trained to do so through food-conditioning. So please do not feed or befriend a coyote! Give them the cold shoulder by practicing complete avoidance.
