Your thoughts on harness for dogs?

I am dog sitting a mini Dachshund and every now and then he trembles, what could be the problem?
This puppy belongs to our friends who had to leave for Thanksgiving weekend. He’s only 10 months old and very attached to them. I know that small dogs often shake but I don’t think he is one of them. Do you think he’s cold or do you think he’s scared/tense? If the latter is true, [...]

I’m now buying supplies for my puppy that I’ll be getting in August.
