The leash may not be a deterrent, but I think the dogs that were grabbed were off leash.
I'm not being critical of the owners who have suffered greatly -- it's a common mistake in the middle of the night.
I think a human within six feet of the dog may act as a deterrent.
Especially if the human is carrying a noisemaker or a golf club (coyotes are cautious animals).
