He then walked across the yard right in front of that house and between that and the next house to my right and off into the darkness at a walk. He did not appear to look directly at me, but I have no doubt he knew we were there. I have been around them all my life, but that was the first time so close without the coyote being startled away.
This solution is not recommended for a highly populated area like TV, but it did take care of the problem in a situation similar to yours. Good thing you got your dog out of there in one piece.
