From I can find on Genuki, Dunley is a hamlet in the parish of Areley Kings, which would imply that there is only one Dog Inn.

Yes and no!
In 1861 there are 2 Dog Inns but both in Dunley.
New Dog Inn with William Smith and family. Next 2 entries Dunley Gate Cottages 1 - with toll gate keeper, then no 2 with ag lab and family.
Next entry Old Dog Inn with Thomas Daniel and family.
Both Dog Inns some way away from the Squirrel Inn although in the same parish.

Thank you, Grisel.

So, there were two Dog Inns but it seems neither changed its name to Squirrel Inn.

Yes, in 1861 you had the New Dog and Old Dog at Dunley and the Squirrel at Areley Kings.
Thomas Daniel gave up the Old Dog in May 1861. The Worcs. Chronicle reported the transfer of the licence to a Mr Josh Wainwright.

The "1850 Directory of Birmingham etc" only listed William Smith "Dog" as a licensed premise in Areley Kings area.

Reference to the John Higgs at Arely Kings as landlord appears as early as Apr 1852 - premises unnamed. The earliest references to Squirrel is Feb 1853 - referred to as either "Squirrel Beerhouse" and "Squirrel Inn"
