Dogs are indeed more demanding, they henceforth grow your sense of responsibility, which aligns with the required skills of entrepreneurship.

Having a dog forces you to micro-manage. This may be fine is just starting out in a business but it does not scale.

I'm pretty sure I disagree but I'm 100% certain I don't understand the rationale leading to this statement.

For any pet, if you have to act as a manager, that's IMO terrible. Management incurs performance reviews, growth and overall, judgement and control. I think a pet/owner relationship is about nursing first, with added leadership when the breed allows (dogs, horses...)

Management: ensure litter box is cleaned daily.

Micro-management: know where last bolus is in the dog's gut and expected evacuation time.
