Submission. If there is any other people around you the dog may think they are in a more dominant position than you are.

I'm 14 and I'm really little - my dog constantly growls at me well recently she has stopped. I take attention of her when she wants it and she shakes. It's simply submission, if they shake leave them be or try and distract them and rebond.

There is a certain area on a dog's body that is referred to as the "saddle region." It vaguely consists of the back, sides and flanks. Rubbing or scratching a dog in the saddle region (the exact spot varies according to the individual pet) will cause the hind leg to simulate a scratching motion. This is called the "scratch reflex."

In other words.

the dog thinks it feels good

No. in other words, the dog likes what you are doing, therefore he shakes his legs to have an itch because your tickling him.

No. In other words it is a reflex reaction that the dog cannot help. Kind of like having your knee hit with that instrument that the doctors test reflexes with.

To get off water, dust, and other debris in their fur. Or they shake because it is too cold. They also shake when they are nervous or frightened.

Well, it depends on if the dog is wet or not. If it is, this is it's way of drying off. If He/she is dry, I do not know.

Dogs shake their legs when you rub their stomach due to muscle reflex.

I assume you mean - when you're scratching the dog. It's an involuntary movement that means - that's the sweet spot -- "that's just where I need to be scratched."
