You mean dogs can't be taught things?

  1. They don't have to. Unless you think pushing a button in reach is a truly impossible feat to overcome.
  2. It's close enough to a dog.

Is that what the story claimed? That a coyote just pushed a button?

Coyotes are not as trainable as dogs because they didn’t evolve alongside humans for thousands of years.
