Usually if the animal is removed from the kennel, the cough goes away. If the animal has been removed and is still showing symptoms within two weeks of leaving the kennel odds are it is more severe than kennel cough. Have a vet see the animal if this is the case to make sure.
(Though it has no correlation to being kept in a kennel but is just called this because a kennel is a common place to get the virus because of the large exposure to various dogs. Any exposure to other dogs can run the risk of your dog getting kennel cough.)
However, there are rare cases with puppies, often small breed puppies specifically, where the kennel cough can last until about 6 months of age. If all tests are done and and all other potential causes ruled out the symptoms are usually treated and the cough tends to just disappear around 6 months of age. This is not common as kennel cough usually clears up in several weeks but happens often enough for breeders and vets to nickname it puppy cough.
