I have a question? I have to change [where the dogs stay] into one possessive noun in this sentence. The kennel [where the dogs stay] is very clean.
Can someone help?

No, it's "the dogs' kennel is very clean".

To change the phrase, you want to designate who is in possession of the noun (the kennel). If it is a single dog then you would use the apostrophe between the g and the s (dog's). If there is more then one dog then you would place the apostrophe after the s (dogs').

Hope that helps!
