I have a very small dog (yorkie/pom mix) and she shakes when she is nervous, especially around new people or in new places.

Dogs often shake and shiver if they have got wet or even if they are cold. However, if your dog is doing this all the time, then it needs to be seen by a qualified veterinarian. All dogs are different, but breeds of dogs are also very different and so what may be very normal in one dog may indicate a medical condition in another.

When you take a dog to the vet he or she can get an overall picture of the dog and look at its eyes, check its heart, ensure its breath is ok (sometimes dogs can have very sweet, sickly smelling breath if they are ill) and in this way the vet can actually diagnose whether the shaking and shivering is just peculiar to that dog or is a cause for concern. Without that kind of real life, detailed assessment, it is wrong to assume that it is a symptom of a serious illness or that it is absolutely not a cause for concern, so have the dog checked out !

I agree with Blurto - You MUST take the dog to a vet before the problem gets worse.

Lots of these breed just do this because they are board get at less three different kinds of kong toys and a hard ball, nylon bone this well keep them busy you should be able to buy at any pet store.
Also changing their diet to Natural Balance formula potato & duck if you can't find it in your pet store ask them to order it or go on-line to buy it.
Some time it only being board or it could be their diet I recommend you try both.
