How problem with troublesome canine got addressed (3,2,3)
I believe the answer is:
had it out
'how problem with troublesome canine' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'got addressed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'got' could be 'had' ('have' can be a synonym of 'get') and 'had' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
