Don't over-wash your dog in an effort to get him to stop shedding as that will just cause his skin to get very dry and flake even more. You shouldn't be washing more than once a week, once every two weeks is ideal. The best thing that you can do is get him on a premium/super-premium dog food (Nutro Natural Choice, Blue Buffalo, Avoderm, etc.) because better nutrition adds to a healthy coat. You can add a teaspoon of olive oil to his food every other day or so if he is still flaky. Get a rubber curry or rubber brush (similar to http://www.arcatapet.com/item.cfm?cat=3646) and brush him with circular motions outside to get rid of extra hair and promote oil production in the skin.
Good luck with the allergies!
