Why does my dog always set off my car alarm?

Typical example: Left my dog in the car to go into a store and pick up an item waiting for me. No line, no having to pay, as quick as an errand could be. Maybe 2-3 minutes including walk time. Stepped out and saw all my lights blinking.

He's a small dog (18 lb. bichon frise) and I use a car harness to keep him belted in. As far as I know he just lies down with his head on the center armrest. Does any motion at all inside the car set off the alarm?

To be honest I usually don't lock the car if I'm stepping out for a few minutes. The thing is, he's a REALLY cute dog and every now and then I worry "What if?"

There's no 'alarm sensitivity' setting, I imagine, but is there anything I can do? Do you guys have the same problem?
