Do you know where he came from? He may be from an abusive household and scared. We got a 4 month old puppy figuring she was abused because she was half starved and didnt know the extent of it until later. She shook all the time at first and still does when she has been bad. Also, this is probably the first big move for the puppy and even if it wasnt abused it will still be scared.
If you havent taken it to a vet you should. On the worst hand it could be distemper or another nerve disease. Make sure he has had all his shots and worming and is overall a healthy dog. Good luck!

First take him to vets just to double check he is all ok and the shaking is nothing serious. Once you have done that you can safely presume his shaking is because he is scared. you dont say how old he is... but shelties can be quite wary of new people and this is probaby the case. take him to vets and after that give him lots of affection and attention... also he may be a little bit cold if he was wet outside??

Which dog is he built more like? Rat and Jack Russel Terriers are very nervous dogs like a chihuahua. When I first got my chihuahua/shih-tzu mix she couldn't stop shaking and would hide under blankets and crawl up my shirts to hide. They are just naturally nervous and eventually that warm up but since they usually have very very thin hair they also get cold easy. I know my dog does.

It doesn't say how old he is, where you adopted him from or if from a shelter how long he was there prior to adoption, was he a 'previously-owned' puppy? if so, maybe he had been abused. My advice would be first to have him THOROUGHLY checked out by a veterinarian to rule out ANY health problem that needs correcting. Next, give him time to learn to trust you, to feel secure, safe and happy. Lots of love, praise, calm and quiet while he adjusts to his new world. Patience is definitely a virtue whenever you adopt, there is so much unknown about the puppy and (from his point of view) about you. But it is all worth it with the years of unconditional love and acceptance you will receive from your new friend. Be clear what you expect from him (establish behavioral boundaries and hold to them) be fair, reward successes lavishly and try-try-again until failures become success. The vast majority of dogs are eager to please and all they ask in return is shelter, food and love. In exchange for this they will love you forever.

Puppys will do this, esp young ones. Since he is mix with smaller breeds, they tend to shake more often than larger breed pups. Some smaller breed dogs will always shake. Its just their metabolism. Just make sure that you keep in out of the cold and love him as much as you can.

Puppies get tense easily and he has just moved. The blanket was a good move and in time the puppy will calm down.

give him plenty of TLC. dogs learn most things during their first twelve weeks of life.
some vets hold puppy parties for free. this does the dog the world of good and it would be nice for you to see all those lovely little pups. you could organise a party yourself

normally when your body shakes its because it is trying to naturally warm itself up. First go buy a dog coat for it. you may feel warm, but he/she is cold. If this does not work, you need to keep it close to you, your chest area so it can feel your heart, this should calm it down and stop the shaking. once it is comfortable. and knows your going to protect it, it will stop

To help him relax you can hum, you can sing or you can whisper.
They like all three and will respond very quickly to you. If shaking just pick him up and cradle him and whisper that it is ok he is home now.
I honestly believe they know when they are loved and he will come around..
Pssst... whisper.. whisper... whisper
good luck

new home, new people, new surroundings. thats normall - you need to hold him a lot more so he gets the feel for you, but not to much other wise he will fret - try putting a little clock under a blanket in his bed so he still thinks he is near his mother. it worked for me !!!
