Context will help provide more insight into why. When does it happen? What else is going on at that time? (i.e. did someone just come home, is someone killing a bug, having a loud argument, other loud noises - like fireworks or children, etc., is there a squirrel/rabbit/bird/ other small critter that has captured the dog's attention ) Are there any other symptoms? (excitement, any sources of possible pain, weakness, disorientation, hiding, yawning, eye/nose discharge, coughing, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, salivating, lip smacking, drooling, scooting or licking their bottom, seizure) https://www.petsbest.com/blog/6-reaso... http://pets.webmd.com/dogs/my-dog-shi...
Dogs shake for many reasons. In your case your dog may be stressed or excited. Or she may have a serious illness like distemper or kidney disease. You may want to check with your vet to rule out any serious illness.
