Early risers, when do you start your dog’s morning?

Not OP, but yes. My dog is not a morning person. The cat is up as soon as I am though

This isn't as early as some of the PPs, but I get up at 7 and do a quick wash up before letting our dog out of his crate. We go for a walk and then come back home for food (him), coffee (me) and then I finish getting ready for work.

Our dog sleeps in our room in his crate and waits until I get him out.

Our alarm goes off at 6, causing the little dog to make houndy noises and run around like she's crazy. The big dog would sleep all the time if we let him.

The hound is born ready for fun!

We wake up early on weekdays but like to sleep in on weekends, so I trained our dog to not expect walkies or munchies before 8-8:30am, regardless of whether I'm up or not. Otherwise, when I walked and fed him early on weekdays, then slept in on weekends, he would throw up and get all antsy before I was ready to go out.
