Agreement
sin (, si, sitt, sine) (determiner, possessive) is the reflexive possessive in Norwegian (both Bokmål and Nynorsk). It inflects in gender and number, although gender is oblique in plural. Norwegian nouns have an inherent gender: feminine, masculine or neuter. They do not inflect in gender -- they have a static one that does not change.

In the provided example, there are two occurrences of sin. Although they both look identical, they have different controllers.
The first occurence, hunden hadde i sin, the controller is the noun hunden. It has the inherent feature NMASC, and it is singular definite. Gender and number is reflected in the possessive, where sin is the masculine singular. This is arguably a case of agreement, where the controller is the noun hunden, the target is sin, and the features are gender and number.
The second occurence, (...) forveksla refleksjonen sin, the controller is the noun refleksjonen. The agreement features are still gender and number.
