Allergy shots require you to get injected with massive amounts of antigen, regularly, for years. Your dog puts out just enough antigen to mildly/moderately piss off your immune system. Imagine the shots as being like sitting with 100 dogs, all day, every day. Eventually, the system gets overwhelmed and just stops responding.
