Do you mean for c[1] = 0; c[1] = 0; to cause two CollectionChanged events?

 protected IDictionary<TKey, TValue> Dictionary get;

I don't find this to be a very helpful name. FWIW my default choice for something like this would be Wrapped.

 private const string CountString = "Count";
 private const string IndexerName = "Item";
 private const string KeysName = "Keys";
 private const string ValuesName = "Values";

Why not nameof (except for IndexerName, obviously)?

IMO there are two useful constructors missing: ObservableDictionary(IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>) and similarly with a comparer. If you've left them out because YAGNI then fair enough, but in that case I'm surprised at how many constructors were necessary.

 InsertObject(
 key : key, 
 value : value,
 appendMode : AppendMode.Replace, 
 oldValue : out var oldItem);

 if (oldItem != null)

Hmm. Technically this isn't quite correct: after dict[foo] = null; a call to dict[foo] = bar; should be considered a replacement rather than an addition. That's why TryGetValue returns a bool and has an out-parameter for the value, rather than just returning the value and letting you test whether it's null. I suggest reworking so that InsertObject returns a bool.

 public ICollection<TKey> Keys => Dictionary.Keys;

 public ICollection<TValue> Values => Dictionary.Values;

My biggest concern with this implementation: shouldn't these two properties also be observable? I would rather bind an Items property to Keys than bind it to the dictionary with an IValueConverter to select the key.

 public void Add(TKey key, TValue value)
 
 InsertObject(
 key: key,
 value: value,
 appendMode: AppendMode.Add);

 OnCollectionChanged(
 action: NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Add,
 changedItem: new KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>(key, value));
 

 public void Add(KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> item)
 
 InsertObject(
 key: item.Key,
 value: item.Value,
 appendMode: AppendMode.Add);

 OnCollectionChanged(
 action: NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Add,
 changedItem: new KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>(item.Key, item.Value));

DRY: one of these methods should call the other one.

 var removedItems = new List<KeyValuePair<TKey,TValue>>(Dictionary.ToList());

Either use new List<...>(Dictionary) or use Dictionary.ToList(): you don't need both. (I prefer ToList() because it saves writing out the full type).

 public bool Contains(KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> item)
 
 return Dictionary.Contains(item);
 

 public bool ContainsKey(TKey key)
 
 return Dictionary.ContainsKey(key);

Does your style guide allow => notation for properties but not methods?

 private void OnCollectionChanged(NotifyCollectionChangedAction action, KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> changedItem)
 
 OnPropertyChanged();
 var handler = CollectionChanged;
 handler?.Invoke(
 this, new NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs(
 action:action,
 changedItem: changedItem));

What about the index of the changed item? I know it's a pain in the neck to implement, but it ensures maximum compatibility. If YAGNI, document that.

Finally, overall the code looks quite good. It uses modern syntactic sugar, and for the most part is well decomposed.

Not bad overall, but there are a few problems:

Clear throws an ArgumentException, because Reset events cannot reference old items.

this[TKey key].set checks if oldItem isn't null. That only works for reference types. For value types this will only raise Replace events instead of Add events.

I wouldn't expect replacing a value to trigger property change events for Count and Keys.

A few more notes:

I would use nameof instead of constants where possible. Also, I find that creating constants for things that are only used in one place makes code a little harder to understand without providing any maintenance benefits.

Why does OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName) call OnPropertyChanged() if the given property name is empty or null? It's not used in practice (so it should just be removed) but it does introduce a risk for infinite recursion (during later code modifications).

C# 7.0 added support for 'discards', using the special variable name _, so you can use that instead of trash.

There are a few unused overloads of OnCollectionChanged that can be removed.

The various OnCollectionChanged methods could be given more descriptive names, such as OnCollectionReset, OnValueReplaced, and so on.
