I heard that this really depends upon the door. The male voice seems to work best when training METAL doors while female voices seem to work best when training WOOD doors. There may be 3-way interaction between gender of trainer, type of door, and what exactly the door is being trained to do, but one really doesn't hear enough about what doors are being trained to do these days. As for females voices commanding attention, I find this might be true for statement like "OOooooh! BAABY!" or "What the hell do you think you're doing??!??" but I could be wrong. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected])
