I think you should not worry very much. All 3 of our Bernese had the shaking front legs when they were puppies but only one has had any health issues as they grew older. It may be a Berner type of "growing pains" which my husband had as a kid. I wouldn't worry too much unless your dog also starts limping for more than a few days. Even then, most often rest will cure any soreness. It's only if the dog or puppy refuses to use a leg for more than about a week that I'd take them to the vet. I do recommend ALL Berner owners to get vet insurance, if only for the first 2 or 3 years when many genetic issues about joints show up.
