What time do your dogs get you up in the morning & how?

I get up pretty early all week round so once the alarm goes off at 6am or I wake up, I get dressed and take the dogs out for their morning walk. They stay in bed until I am heading downstairs when they usually follow me down, although sometimes I have to call an errant one to come down so that we can head out. It's the same routine if I'm traveling for work and my OH is walking them instead. On the one day a week that we don't walk, my OH sleeps in and sometimes they will sleep in with him or wander downstairs and sit with me. If it gets too late I will get the ones that are still sleeping up so that I can feed them. It used to be that they would wake us up early every so often to go outside but these days we leave the dog door open so that they can go out whenever they need to.
 
Crated at night and doesn't utter a sound until I give her eye contact and let her out. Then she's attached to me for the rest of the day :)

Not into dogs on beds (especially) and other furniture.
 
My dog sleeps outside in her kennel, but she still wakes us up with a big old bark if she's not had her breakfast by eight :) She'll do a bark, you get a couple of minutes to pop your shoes on, then if she can't hear you coming, she'll do another bark, then wait...

My dogs seem to be getting up earlier and earlier latley, and when my parents had them while we were on holiday they were getting them up in the middle of the night!

Mine want their brekkie at light o'clock but have been trained to wait til 6 am. And believe me, they KNOW how to tell time! It's either Chester (BT) having a polite soft whinge in the kitchen, wayyy down the hall....or Merlin (poodle) poking my eyeballs with his nose!
