Shivering is the body's attempt to increase it's core temperature.
One reason first of all the god could be shivering is it is cold- so i would just get a blanket you dont mind to get dog hair on and just drape it over the pup, and just sit there with him/her for awhile. 2nd reason it may be shivering is because its scared- so just spending like 20 minutes a day with ur dog can change that. i hope i helped you out.
ONE of the things is to shiver. Shivering is involuntary muscle movement that creates heat.
Hypothermia symptoms include:Uncontrollable shivering (although, at extremely low body temperatures, shivering may stop)Weakness and loss of coordinationConfusionPale and cold skinDrowsiness - especially in more severe stagesSlowed breathing or heart rateSigns of hypothermia that can be observed by other people include the following:Slowing of pace, drowsiness, fatigueStumblingThickness of SpeechAmnesiaIrrationality, poor judgmentHallucinationsLoss of perceptual contact with environmentBlueness of skinDilation of pupilsDecreased heart and respirationStuporDeathIf any of the following are observed, the person is in need of immediate medical attention:Poor articulation of wordsDisorientationDecrease in shivering followed by rigidity of musclesCyanosis (Blueness of Skin)Slowness of pulse, irregular or weak pulse
Not very effectively. Shivering is a last-ditch attempt by the body to generate heat in it's own muscles to try and ward off increasing cold, but the operative words are "last ditch" - it just doesn't help much if one is really chilled.
Involuntary trembling of the body may mean that you are too cold and your body is shivering to help keep you warm. If it does not occur in a cold situation, it may be an indication of fear, or of a more serious medical problem. If it continues, you should seek medical attention.
There are several reasons for shivering. For one, you may simply feel cold. The body also shivers when its temperature drops, or when it's experiencing feelings of fear, nervousness, and anxiety. A low blood count can also attribute to shivers throughout the body.

One can determine body temperature without using a thermometer by observing physical signs such as feeling the skin for warmth or coolness, checking for sweating or shivering, and noting changes in color or texture of the skin.
Shivering occurs under various circumstances. The one which occurs during cold is basically meant to provide heat to your body by friction. The muscular activity causes respiration which also produces heat. Its body's mechanism of generating heat to maintain its temperature. The other cause can be a malarial infection in which it occurs usually during the evening time when the plasmodium bursts the infected RBCs in blood to invade other RBCs of blood. It might occur in state of fear or tension which occurs due to adrenaline or nor-adrenaline hormone as the case may be as the muscles are tensed up for fight or flight
There are various signs that one might have an inflammatory disease of some kind. The first is that one may have pain in part of one's body. Swelling, heat and redness are also signs of an inflammation.
Well one is when you feel cold air run past you, that's a ghost
Shivering is one of the methods that the human body uses to warm itself. It is a neurological reaction, that the body executes when it gets too cold. Joggers are familiar with the concept of moving to stay warm; they run in the coldest of weather and manage to stay warm. Basic physics dictate that energy taken from a storage source (like our fat) and changed to another form of energy (your body movements), results in yet another form of energy - heat. So when your muscles start moving back and fourth rapidly, they make heat, which helps warm the body in the cold. Some people have a different tolerance for cold, and in fact those who shiver easier, can withstand colder temperatures. Specific tolerances can change as we adapt over long term exposure, which is why all those Florida natives look at you funny when you wear your shorts down there in January, they have just adapted to the warm temperatures. Shivering is a sign that hypothermia is setting in as well, it's a very early sign, but uncontrollable shivering should be taken seriously. Here's a link to more information on hypothermia it's from Boston but I think they have hypothermia there too:
