Make sure their schedule is right on feeding times and potty outings. Then just don't pay any attention to them when they wake up. It may take some determined pretending to be asleep from you for a few nights, but eventually they will give up. That is, unless there is a physical reason such as a dog food too high in fiber that makes them need to poop more often and more volume, or intestinal parasites, or their last trip out in the evening is too early or something like that.
