I can only follow the described recipe when setting
org-use-fast-tag-selection to non-standard value of t.

For such scenario, I just pushed a fix onto main - entering group tags
from exclusive groups will now clear already applied tags from the same
group.
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/commit/?id=edcb8eca5

In case of the default settings (org-use-fast-tag-selection = auto), the
interface is different - prompt will list all the tags already present
in the heading:

- C-c C-q dog from the recipe will look like

  TAGS: <point>
  TAGS: dog
  * heading :dog:

- Another C-c C-q will, however, yield
  TAGS: :dog:<point>
  entering "cat" manually
  TAGS: :dog:cat
  will still force setting both the tags:
  * heading :dog:cat:

In the above scenario, there is no non-ambiguous way to know which
exclusive tag is implied by the user. So, I am inclined to keep the
current behavior. Unless there are better ideas.
