kennelled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in the doghouse?' is the definition.
(a kennel is a place for dogs to stay)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Another definition for kennelled that I've seen is " Of dog, lodged in boarding or breeding place".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
