I think the question is whether the effect must be disclosed, or does the name of the dog has to be disclosed?

Playing Devil's Advocate: Clause (d) says that you can base your actions on information you had before taking cards from the board. Where does it say you have to give that information to the opponents? You're only required to disclose agreements. The name of the dog isn't an agreement, it's just a fact about the world. The agreement is only "If partner's dog is named Lucy, we play weak NT."

Law 40A1 said:

(a) Partnership understandings as to the methods adopted by a partnership may be reached explicitly in discussion or implicitly through mutual experience or awareness of the players.
(b) Each partnership has a duty to make its partnership understandings available to its opponents. The Regulating Authority specifies the manner in which this is done.

So if some (apparent) extraneous information has any impact at all you must make sure that your opponents are aware of it's effect.
