Can my dog get kennel cough from me touching an infected dog?

Question

Okay so my sisters dog has kennel cough. If her dog like cuddles and whatever with her and she comes over to my house without changing her clothes is it possible for my dog to get it too? Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 60 lbs

I'd have her change her clothes when she comes over. Viral and bacterial causes of canine cough are spread through airborne droplets produced by sneezing and coughing. These agents also spread through contact with contaminated surfaces. I hope this helps!
