A saw is what you seek. Grab a regular old wood saw and cut the hide first with a knife to get started.

I've never cut a dogs head off, but a deers head is pretty easy to remove with just a sharp knife. It's all about popping the vertebrae after you cut the hide and flesh.
Maybe a saw back machete like Gerber makes? |

Knife. Cut where spine meets base of skull Grab the muzzle, lift the head up, slice the throat to the spine, pop the head back, cut remaining flesh around the spine and find the joint that connects head to spine and cut throughout. Should come right off. You don't need a large knife either, just needs to be sharp. Mora works well |

I've used this to do about a dozen heads, all very clean and easy. Keep a short noose with you, throw it around the neck and hold it up off the ground a bit, one big swing and it should do the trick.

I have one of the original version of this without the extra knife and you can put a knife sharp edge on the blade. It has just enough weight and handle length to cut a coyote spin and sharp enough to cut the soft tissue easily. I use mine to split deer rib cages and pelvis when field dressing them. Its light enough you won't really notice it in your hunting pack. ETA: 
Use these on Squirrels and it works great. Not sure if it would open wide enough for a coyote but I bet it would if you did a little knife work to clear some soft tissue. |

I witnessed a vet cut off a cows head that was suspected of rabies. He had a knife with 4" replaceable blades, razor sharp. It took the head off fast, right through the vertebrae. The he chucked the old blade and popped on a new one. Very slick. I'd get one of those.

I bought this for Elk hunting and have used it to cut through vertebrae. It's real quick and it fold ups in the carry pouch that can be carried on your belt or on the pack. |

A sharp knife is all you need to take bones apart at the joints. A thin blade with an acute tip helps, especially on smaller animals where there is less room to get between the joint. In this case, a clip point will work better than a drop point.

There are some slaughterhouse videos on youtube that you might take some tips from.
They can be gruesome but there are some butchers who are incredibly skilled with a knife and can remove a large animal's head in just seconds. And then there's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpQ-tOGXZiU |

I would cut to the spine around the neck and twist then cut anything still hanging on. Bring latex gloves if you want to keep your hands clean.

Can out of state hunters join in?
I am frequently north of SLC visiting family and couple of them are crack rifle shots. |

I don't know exactly for coyote. But since here in Texas we are required to keep the head of a deer with the meat until it reaches the final destination for processing, I have some experience in removing deer heads. It doesn't take much to cut the muscle and flesh on the neck, a good sharp knife. Then just twist the head around several times and the joints in the neck will separate. No bone cutting needed. Should be a similar process.

We need video of this. It works really well, I've used it quite a bit, it swings really nicely and typically just takes one good swing. |
