Yes that sounds like Kennel cough, a constant hacking/coughing from the throat, usually made worse after a dog has worked. I have had numerous working dogs over the years (5 as a pack until recently) and on occasion they would get it once every few years after being around another pack, and worked. You sometimes see a white foam at the mouth when coughing hard.
At this point it's too late to do much, I simply rest them and allow themselves to get over it, and I've never lost a dog to it. The majority of my dogs make it until around 13 or 14 and apart from their first course of shots as pups I never get any so called annual boosters, as a wise old vet advised me it's just a money making scheme that the vets love! Never lost a dog to anything other than old age.
