Yes, and in the puppy stage would be the best time to begin, as they get older they tend to be scared of things like a blow dryer, but if they've had one used since being a puppy they would be more likely to be ok with that.

Yes, but remember that blow dryers get hotter, the longer they're on. So every 30 seconds or so, blow your wrist to make sure the temperature is bearable for your dog. You should leave it on a low setting so it's not too hot and not too loud.
If your dog gets scared of it, give him a few treats every once in a while so he'll associate it with treats.

It would probably not be the best idea as I have 2 chihuahuas and 1 border collie and i tried that and they freaked out on me so just rub your puppy with a towel and let it run around
p.s your dog may have a mad 5 Minuit's
hope this helps

Yes, but put it on low or cold. My dryer will do a cold blow, and that is very safe.
Sometimes dogs don't like the blower, so have some treats handy the first time so the dogs learns how fun the blow dryer is.

Sure! Just put the setting on low and do not hold the dryer in one place for too long. You can burn the skin ok. Or if your dryer has a cool setting that would be much better!

You can if the puppy is into it. The noise may scare him, as well as the air blowing on him. But he may do just fine. It's worth a try.

Yes, definitely. If the dog is not afraid of the noise of the blow dryer, then he will probably enjoy the warm air.
