The Microsoft ParallelExtensionsExtras provides this class which is not only observable but is also concurrent:
Now available via Nuget: https://www.nuget.org/packages/MSFT.ParallelExtensionsExtras/
The source code was recently updated for .NET Standard 2.1 on 05/11/2020 and the source code is available at GitHub: https://github.com/dotnet/samples/tree/master/csharp/parallel/ParallelExtensionsExtras
Note that some of the features are now a part of newer .NET frameworks. Are the ParallelExtensions "Extras" still of value?

I'd suggest that you implement the IDictionary<TKey, TValue> instead of inheriting from Dictionary<TKey, TValue>. Since you have to use new rather than override it's possible that the methods are simply being called on the base class rather than your class. I'd be tempted to use a Dictionary<TKey, TValue> internally to do the actual storing of data.
In fact I found this: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/shimmy/archive/2010/12/26/observabledictionary-lt-tkey-tvalue-gt-c.aspx
