I would be willing to bet, if the dogs got any sense, you could teach it to toll coyotes.
Break it to a shock collar. Get it to where when it hears the tone, it will come back to you. No matter what.
Then take it coyote calling. It will see or hear the coyote coming long before you do. (if you have called much, you will be surprised at how many coyotes come in you never know). When it alerts you, and after it figgers out the game, it should go out to the coyote. Now, this coyotes lookin for a free meal and seein a dog is natural. Ole coyote thinks that dog crippled that rabbit and all hes gotta do is get it away from him. They will start a little dance, normally the coyote wont fight the dog right off. Then hit your tone and the dog will come runnin back with coyote in tow. Usually, the coyote will have all attention on the dog and you can choose what shot you want.
Its a fun game, adds to the calling stand, adds coyotes and most dogs that have any sense and will listen can be trained. Most of the training is the coming to the tone. Even if the dog dont care about the coyote to go dance with it, it will go out and mess around and will see it coming before you. You can watch the dogs reactions and see when its close enough to tone it back and the coyote will follow.
