I have a dog that is allergic to virtually the outdoors and indoors. Have battled skin issues with him for a long time and (knock on wood) he doing good now. I got allergy testing done to find out what exactly he is allergic to.
I too experienced Apaquel losing its effectiveness. Try giving 1/2 a pill in the morning and the other half in the evening for a more "spread out" effectiveness. I bathe him once or twice weekly with Malseb shampoo. That really helps with yeast/fungus and finally what I found is the current ticket is a new injection out called Cytopoint. Safer then Apaquel and works for 6-8 weeks against itchiness. I should add he is on weekly allergy shots as well.
