That would indeed make things easier later, should this requirement come up. Still, if you believe this power is easy enough to reproduce, no harm in testing it out yourself first to make sure it works this way before involving the time of other people.

I question whether the dog is actually angry at the intruder.
Do dogs attack people because they are angry with them?
Do dogs hate?
Isn't the dog merely doing it's instinctual job or duty?

Assuming he has correct understanding of the ability, there is a positive test to check if the dog is actually angry. If the dog is thrown back, then it was angry.
If the dog is NOT thrown back, then there are a number of possible reasons. Hopefully, should this be the result of his self-test, he will address each of these possibilities with equal concern.

Is a bee angry at you when it stings you?
Is a snake angry at you when it bites you if you step too near it?
How about a bear running you out of it's territory? Is this really anger?
At what point do we ascribe anger to beings other than humans?

I was speaking of mammals; I have no opinion on reptiles or insects.
Regarding mammals; I believe that a bear can indeed become angry. What you described is territorial instinct, which is not always displayed. In fact, bears routinely come into contact with humans (dangerous as that is for both parties) without displaying that kind of instinct.However, throw a rock at one and hit it in the head and one of two things will happen - the bear will either run away in fear, or attack in anger.
Dogs, as domesticated animals, have been "socialized" to the point where breeding has brought out the physical, mental and emotional traits deemed desirable to owners. Just my view, of course... and impossible to prove.

Or possibly the bear will deflect the rock with its telekenetic powers.

I can envision situations where I would attack and kill without ever actually being angry at my victim, though.
Surely you should be interested to read about another Indonesian group who claimed to be able to do what you witnessed, but were shown to be incapable of doing anything paranormal?

What if a zombie were to attack you? Could you repel it? After all, it's dead! What if the zombie were extremely angry? What if it was just trying to give you a friendly hug, and was in a pleasant mood?
The specifics of the ability in all situation are really academic, and unimportant to the challenge. He need only find one situation where it works consistently to achieve success. I do hope he is having luck in that regard, he has a good self-test lined out now.

Damn, someone beat me to it. According to the protocol described, since the applicant travels less than the distance to the maximum extent of the chain, the chain itself, not any paranormal power, will yank the dog back.
Nice try
I think someone's "yanking our chain" as has already been observed.3 suggestions here:
(1) Repelling two intensely angry fighting dog.
Less danger to our Jref challenger. And if he so agree that it is not the requirement for the dog to attack him.
(2) Repel 2 fighting bull.
As I understand, he mentioned "living things".
Dog was included only because it was more easy to get angry.
So how about asking the jref challenger to repel two fighting bull?

Convienently situated in Indonesia.
(3) Free fall an angry dog over head on to the challenger in a cylindrical transparent compartment. A successful attempt will see the dog suspended in mid-air without touching. Very Very cool !

thelight, let me reiterate, what exactly emotions (anger) have/has to do with your "ability".
How does the anger affect your "ability"?
How did you find out that you possess this "ability"?
How did you come to the conclusion I quoted above?
How often have you proven this "ability" to others?
What did happen on those occasions, which your referred to as "such a routine in my daily life" in your OP?
I predict: thelight will not become a claimant in the JREF Challenge. Bets, anyone? I give you good odds!
Hee hee, I started imagining what a great video this would make, of a guy dressed up in the padded suit at an attack dog school, and he's out on an open lawn and someone releases a pack of dogs, who just come barrelling at him, knock him down, and start gnawing on his arm.
The duck idea would be spectacularly hilarious, too. It would be so sad just to see the duck pecking at him as he desperately tries to will it away with his mind. Classic.
But I think both those ideas are even better than keeping the dog on the chain. After all, it's mean to make a dog run at full strength until it chokes itself on the end of the chain; much better to let it free, and there's a definite end to the test when the dog starts chewing on the applicant's foot. Otherwise, he'll stand there all day trying to mentally push the dog back on the chain.
