I ignor them until 6am which is my latest rise time. I put them out and feed then clear out of their way as they play.
Mom is paranoid ever since last year when male did not think she got up fast enough and jumped back on the bed and jack his leg and let her have it.
She spoils them now if I'm not home. She gets up whenever they peep.
Another good idea,...Make the son take them!!!!! LOL

Oh yeah....7.28am spot on, like clockwork every day, I hear the patter of eight not-so-little feet around the lounge. I suppose I could ignore it but I have to get up anyway, and once I hear them up I can't relax and go back to sleep. I figure, once they've had enough sleep, they've had enough. They want to get out there and face the day! I let them out with a bowl of bikkies and go back to sleep on the weekends, weekdays I let them out, give them breakfast and get ready for work.
We have a routine though. They wake up, I open the back door, Chester goes straight out, and Ruby sits in the kitchen. I go back, crouch down in front of her, get a doggy hug and a lick on the forehead, and then she goes out. Every day. And I love it!

I love waking up with Bailey each morning, and yes, he is a riser with the sun. It is amazing how the sun has recently started coming up earlier with the time change close, but I love our morning routine.
He usually starts stirring about 4 or so, and wants under the covers, so I let him under and he'll put his head on either my back or leg, which is soooo sweet. Then once the alarm goes off, I'll turn on the news and it's belly rubbin' time. We both yawn and give kisses, and moan "do we have to get up", and then I finally say "wanna go outside" "do you gotta go tee tee?", and we're up for the day. Now, weekends I wish he'd sleep in, but unfortunately the sun determines our wake time. And, once he is up, it's no laying back down, but I have triend the couch thing and throwing his toys down the hall...that seems to work.

we have a two year old black lab, Roxie, she's pretty clever, when she wants to wake us up she goes and rattles the blinds..verticals... but she knows to wait to jump up on the bed , not until she gets the invitation..for some morning lovin' then she usually just snuggles down with us (between us) til we get up...now the puppy is an early riser..but that's ok, she's a puppy.
Old thread
But yeah my boys used to do that too. It does help that they are not allowed on the bed, although they still like putting their front paws on it and licking our face (Tips) or just laying there with the face on our shoulder/back/cheek and pawing at us (Boris). We found the way to make it stop though. We just ignore them. Now when they wake us up it's from playing together and just making too much noise walking on the floor (wood floor), but it's usually after 8am, sometimes even 9 (but sometimes 7 too ). Only then when they know we are awake will they put their paws on the bed and ask for cuddles.
They never ask us to go out either so at least they don't wake us up for that. They can hold just fine for 8 hours (my husband usually stays up later than me and I wake up earlier), and even then usually Boris won't go outside right away.
Ruby your post made me laugh, Boris is a lot like Ruby, he usually just sits cute at the door for cuddles instead of going out... Except he does it everytime I let them out (usually every hour or so) and I find it very annoying especially when it's cold out So now I just give him a cuddle, go to the bathroom or something then go open the door for him. If the screen doesn't shut he usually goes out by himself though (he knows how to pull and push doors alright).
