Generally no - kennel cough is the lay term for an upper respiratory infection with Bordetella bacteria. Dogs that are sick tend to be lethargic and resist playing or other interactions. If you keep bothering the dog, it may snap at you to get you to leave it alone, but kennel cough shouldn't cause a dog to deliberately attack anything.
