Posting pic's/Rally-Obedience

[mayahund]

Since I presently can't figure out how to make my pic's smaller you guy's jsut have to make do with threads to Chilis homepage.

We've had a busy weekend - We took the girls to a class in "Rally-obedience". Quite a bit more fun than ordinary obidience and a lighter way to keep your ground obidience working.

There about 30 signs in the field (beginners class), divided on 2 courses and one really small one. Wjhen on knows this the course is supposed to take no more than 3 minutes otherwise you're disqualified.

You read the instructions on the sign as you appoach, follow the instructions and keep it going untill the last one. There should be a flow in passing the signs and your dog should follow willingly. You do everything from basic "sit" & lay, stay to turns both left and right and at diffrent speeds.

Hello Ewa, you will have to tell us step for step what you are doing when you try and post a picture. That way we can see where the problem is.

The problem is to get my pics downsized. The smallest I can get them seem to be about 110 kb. They will post if I just get the right size.

Helene (Ryk) has given me some ideas, I just havn't had the time to look into it.

Did you have a look at that free photo editor I gave you the link for?

Size doesn´t matter with ImageShack

[mayahund]

Havn't had the time to check out neither your link or Helenes ideas...work and dogtraining comes first
What is Image shack?

Anyway, when I added my pic's to my post I got a window saying "Pic's too big. Only allowed to be 3. something Kb"

Will look into it but it will probably not be before the weekend.

Ah!!! I can quickly see that you have tried to put the picture on as an attachment. Sorry wrong method

if you use the real reply and not the "quick reply" you will be able to see a group of icons, one of these icons allows you to paste pictures in your text. This is the only way to show pictures on this forum.

I am starting to feel like an utter imbecil over here. Went to ImageShack and what do I get? A page that's a portal to something else.... What on earth do I choose in there then?

Hi Ewa,

I have also not had time to work out how to do it!! It may seem straight forward to people who know how to do it - but to the rest of us - it's not. I am also going to try and figure it out this weekend. So whichever of us succeeds first - can teach the other!.

Hi Ewa,

Forgot to say - great pictures of your rally. I really like the idea of a rally of tasks with a time limit. It is something Paul and I can try when we are training the dogs. Paul gets bored with doing the same tasks and that will make it more interesting.

I used to do training with small pet dogs and we used to set up some tasks - like walking through cones - with sausages balanced on them - building up to recalls through the sausages. Some dogs just ate them all and then went to their owner! But other's were good and didn't eat any. It was also very entertaining to watch.

If you open the pictures in Photoshop Elements (as I showed you), resize to a with of 20 cm (make sure the dpi is 72 pixels/inch). That´s what I do, works for me…
