Unless there is something lodged in the dog's throat or is choking (see a vet ASAP), most dog coughs are an infection called "kennel cough." A vet can help you treat kennel cough--and there are vaccines that work against some kinds of it. Don't expose a coughing dog to other dogs to prevent the spread of the infection.
Some dogs get Allergies, and the cough could be related to that as well. A vet will help you figure out if your dog has allergies.
