My dogs have kennel cough. Will they keep passing it to each other?

Question

I have two dogs. One I got from the pound and he came with kennel cough. It's been a couple weeks and he's been getting better . But now my second dog has kennel cough (via the first dog). Can they pass the kennel cough back and forth ? Pet's info: Dog | Manchester Terrier (Standard) | Male | neutered

If its the same strain which I highly suspect it is, the once the 2nd dog is over it, it'll probably be done with for now, as they will both have developed an immunity (at least temporarily) to it. There is a possibility that they could get some other strain down the road or their immunity fades, but its not likely to go back and forth and back and forth. I hope that helps you!
