Having watched a few videos of the cocker championships, especially Ian Openshaw, who seems to win or be very close every year, I notice that he shouts something to his dog as it get in the vicinity of the shot bird. But I can't understand what he is saying.

Any ideas?

Mr Openshaw shout? On the shoots I've hear Hi-Lost or Find-it usually for retrievers, spaniels tend to be "there, there" if voice is used  ;) or a long pip, followed by short pip on the whistle.......

Yes its hi lost
There is also hi on.

It derives from old English "hie" to move quickly.

So its "get on with finding the lost bird in that area" sort of thing.

Apparently

Having watched the videos again, it sounds more like "Lars" to me. No idea if it actually is Lars getting shouted but it certainly sounds like it.

Its definetely "hi lost" however it tends to come out as "hi lo" it will be his Lancashire accent. Incidentally he is from a village three miles from my home.

I use 'git' too. But as a noun, not a verb. Usually preceding by 'You little....'

It's not the native accent of most of the people who copy him either!

I noted the other week that philipa Williams uses "git oot"
I am thinking its done to avoid confusion between get on and some other command get out or get back maybe, I didn't get chance to ask her.

Don't know.  Not sure what's wrong with plain 'out'?  'Get' in front of everything seems a bit verbose and more confusing?!  I don't say 'hup' either.  :lol2:

Good point. I used to say out but it has evolved into get out, I don't know why.
I tried hup mainly to sound like I was a "propper" gundog bloke and knew what I was doing 😁  that evolved into a sit hup, don't know why on that either ,😁

Blanking in - pushing birds back into the drive (wood) on a shoot day.

Dogging in - pushing birds back into the pen (wood) before the season starts

With dogs of course
