First, you need to look at the food you are feeding your dog. Read the label. What's in it? Would you eat it? Second, you might need to add something to your dog's diet. Try adding 1 sardine (packed in water) per day. I just recently started adding sardines, based on my vet's recommendation, and I have to tell you, the difference in the boys coats is amazing.

Diet... Health.

Both related, both major factors in your dogs coat.

As well as stress levels.

Feeding a high quality food alone usually does the trick.

My guys are fed Eagle Pack, but I also supplement them with Herring Oil.

High quality food with 1/2 to 3/4 can of green tripe (Tripett).

Sooty has nearly always had Purina One & her coat is always shiney. She also has raw bones occasionally, mostly chicken.

High quality food is important, and supplement with Omega 3,6 fatty acid caps. I give Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil capsules twice a day to promote healthy skin and coat, in addition to premium foods.
