We live in the 'burbs, but not terribly far out...you can see downtown from the top of next street over. We are in a unique situation where we have 2 acres of woods and there's 250 acres that is undeveloped behind that. Our neighborhood is like a frickin' Disney movie. Never actually seen any coyotes in our yard, but you can definitely hear them back in the woods at times. Two pit mixes so I'm not terribly worried about a coyote or two getting close to the house, but I do worry that they might be enough temptation to get the dogs through the invisible fence and back into the woods where the rest of the pack is.
