If you lie prone, esp with the slowed breathing duck, he will not always lie low, and enemies that spot him from a distance won't know what they're looking at until they come over to investigate. As long as you're aware of what's going on and have bushes to lie prone in, you're usually OK, but it can potentially cause problems if you're on the move.
That said, I have found D-Dog is much better at healing behind you if you take cover behind something. He may get a bit fidgety at first, but when a lured enemy comes looking for your knock sound, he'll tuck behind you. I never use his bark though, I'd rather have complete control over distractions, so I use magazines and the arm.
Had to laugh at the "just like Ellie" comment, so true. When you least expect it she's all fidgety, then she'll tuck right under your arm like a puppy. LOL
I also agree with what was said about D-Walker, he's a real jack of all trades. His search mode can be used anywhere, and he can find enemies, prisoners and items from quite a ways away. I also find him to be invaluable for getting in and out of places pretty quickly with reasonable stealth. Hate the stun cannon though, it really sucks.

d-dog doesn't blow your cover, if anything them spotting the dog gets their attention away from you. I only want him to stay when i'm going lethal or clearing mines, otherwise it's fine.
