Ryan, My rott also howls at sirens; must hurt their ears. We noticed it with him as a puppy and thought he would outgrow it but he never did.
I honestly believe my dog is conversing with the coyotes, now whether good or bad, I don't know. I believe he could hold his own, I just don't want to put them in harm. I can hear the coyotes outside right now (7:00 a.m. but it's dark) and also some dogs barking but my pond area seems free of them at the moment. Waiting for my lights and if all else, other measures will prevail.
