Anyone else's dog hate it when you use your phone?
I have a 1 year old Bichon Frise and she cannot stand the sight of someone using their phone. It's not even when she was already trying to play with you and you pull out your phone, she can be laying on the coffee table while you're on the couch, she'd be doing her own thing, but the instant you start using your phone she will walk up to you, put her paws on your knees, and do that little high pitched bark thing dogs do when they want something from you. She's not okay with anyone in our family using their phones in front of her, not just me. Does this happen with anyone else's dog? Is this a symptom of insufficient enrichment and play at home or something like that where she thinks we're not paying enough attention to her and associates phone use with that?

My dog does not give a fuck but she KNOWS when I'm using the camera to try to get a picture or video of her, and she does not like it. Refuses to sit still, and whatever she just was doing, she stops doing it and starts moving around.
My dog is the same! Instantly stops whatever he was doing.
I wonder if they can see a bit more of the infrared, enough to see the depth sensor lights when the camera turns on.
It's probably that they notice the attention and that makes them excited.
