You really need to get him inside so he can be bathed in warm water and rinsed really well.
Try this. Have a couple of inches of warm water in the tub before you bring the dog in. Put him in the tub and instead of running the shower head use a pitcher to pour water on him and get him really wet. DO NOT wet his head at this point. Most dogs really dislike that, they get cold faster and will be better with the whole thing if you leave their head for last. When he's wet, massage the shampoo through him and rinse really well. You'll need to run water directly into the pitcher (use the tap, not shower). If he seems calm at this point, try draining the tub and running fresh.
Now you need to wet his head being careful not to run water into his eyes or nose. If he seems fairly calm, use shampoo and rinse. If not, why not leave it until next time.
Rinse him really well, towel dry and if he lets you, blow dry him while you're brushing. He'll dry faster and not get so cold and his coat will turn out gorgeous.

That could be the issue or it could be with the echo in a shower. The running water echo's off the tile and is loud and confusing for animals with such sensitive hearing. My dog's get bathed in a kiddie pool outside during the warm months, and in a bath tub during the winter. They wont even come into the bathroom until the water gets turned off. If he freaks out in other small spaces, like a kennel or closet, then it is the size of the space. If he doesn't like loud noises, that could also be the issue.

You have a hose or tub outside and inside you have a shower head coming down on it and it scares the dog try a hand held shower head in a bathtub and you will see a difference.

Dogs are afriad of RUNNING water. Baths are still, showers are moving. If your dog gets in a fight, hose him down.

form what i've learned, dogs don't have a problem with the water on their bodies it is when the water gets on their heads is when they have problems, it impares their vision and by instinct impared vision will make them more vulnerable. so this is why he has problems with the shower.
