Small dogs are often prone to trembling, and dog handlers have identified five main reasons for this phenomenon:

1. Cold is a fairly obvious cause, as due to their small size and limited fat layer, small dogs are often cold.
2. Stress - small dogs are more prone to stress than their larger counterparts. They can perceive even small sounds as a threat. It is important to avoid chronic stress in your pet.
3. Overexcitement - some dogs have very active minds, and this can lead to tremors.
4. Desire for more attention - some dogs may notice that their owners are worried about their tremors and use this as a way to get more attention. It is important not to encourage this behavior.
5. Illness - sometimes trembling can be the result of an underlying medical condition, so it's important to consult your veterinarian if your dog is constantly shaking.
