I keep ascribing the full transformation to the werecoyote bits because it is the most straightforward explanation.

Full animal transformation is an innate ability of the werecoyote presented on the show. Theo is part werecoyote. He most likely got the ability via the easiest path to full transformation that wouldn't require further explanation.

If his wolf side gave him those abilities then the show would have to explain how he short-circuited the complicated process, established in canon, that it takes for werewolves to attain that ability.

Werecoyote = instant full animal transformation

Werewolf = complicated process for full animal transformation.

If they had not explained that Theo was part Werecoyote, then his full transformation would still be a mystery because we know he didn't attain the ability in the only way canonically possible.

With Werecoyote in his veins that mystery is solved.
