How Early Do You Have To Get Up In the Morning To Let Your Dog(s) Out?

The workers there asked me if Nanook had a problem, he wouldn't go potty the ENTIRE time he was there. I asked them if they took the dogs to a grassy area to potty they said no. I said there's your problem he won't potty on anything but grass. But I never knew he would hold it for 5 whole days. He peed for a good 5-10 minutes.

I thought my RB Keisha was the only one to do that. We had her and Angus boarded for 6 days and they said she didn't go to the bathroom once in that whole time which I found hard to belive. But when we got home I swear she peed 20 times I thought she was never going to stop!

Now as how early I have to get up, well it depends who wants out and why (I get up with them all times of the night).
Sometimes one of them thinks they hear/see something outside and want out.
Other times they are thirsty (we keep the water outside since Bon is such a slobber monster )
But MOST of the time to go to the bathroom I'd say they want out around 6 or 6:30am.

Bijou totally lives by our schedule We potty her for the last time before bed at about 10:00 p.m., and then we potty her again in the morning at about 6:45-7:00 a.m., right before she and the cats have brekkie. She's such a good girl -- when we first got her from the rescue @ 14 weeks, I thought she'd never get housetrained...now she's so dependable. I'm really proud of her!

My dogs always wait for me to get up, anytime that is. Maggie will
sometimes do this moaning/groaning kind of sound that wakes me if I should
sleep to long for her.

Ummm!
Ms Sheba, has to be told to go outside.
She will sleep in as long as she can.
Rocky is my alarm clock.
He gets up usually around 6:30 a.m., jumps
1/2 on my bed for head pets and than I let him outside
while Sheba tries to sleep.
