I am sharing my honest experience with Bulldog Driver Training. I moved here from another province and I am brand new to Red Deer.The Negatives: Instructor Sid De Boon & Course DurationDuring my air brake training, the topic of Alberta separatism came up. I simply made a casual remark about it, and Sid De Boon responded by saying he hopes everyone from other Canadian provinces and all immigrants "get out" of Alberta. While I do not care about people's political views on separation, this comment was deeply xenophobic and racist.Beyond that specific incident, his overall behavior was unacceptable. I paid $10,000 out of my hard-earned savings for this course, and this man never showed me the basic respect that any civil human being deserves. He constantly used intimidation and always seemed angry. He frequently makes degrading comments to put students down, completely destroying their self-confidence. A good instructor should be a strong leader, but Sid De Boon is far from that. He heavily abuses his power as an instructor in a very negative way.Additionally, the school originally informed me that the course would take 4 to 6 weeks. It ended up taking 10 weeks, which was another major negative point for me.The Positives: Exceptional InstructorsI want to highlight that instructors John Umpherson, Karl, and Trevor were exemplary. They truly helped rebuild my confidence. Thank you so much to all three of you. Also, Alexa was very diplomatic and helpful.ConclusionIf it were only for Sid De Boon, this would be a 1-star review. However, thanks to the amazing support from John, Karl, Trevor, and Alexa, I am raising my final rating to 3 stars. Read Less

Hard to put into words how amazing bulldog is from the front desk ladies to the instructors. The way they talk to you and train is second to none. My instructor Trevor was a very knowledgeable guy and his teaching was something I could understand very easily. Very wonderful attitude and you can tell he knows his stuff. I want to also mention my extreme graditude for Tim my government examiner. He as well was a super nice guy, down to earth and very professional. I was pretty nervous but he made me relax and just drive the rig. I cant reccomend bulldog enough. I even drove 6 hours to come to bulldog and dont regret that for a second! Thanks everyone!

Robin at Bulldog is a wonderful instructor. She patiently instructed my daughter in a kind, relaxed way. My daughter came away with increased confidence and a level of skills and knowledge necessary to navigate the road safely. Robin gave her specific things to practice between lessons and was always happy to provide me as the parent with information so I was aware of my daughter’s progress. Robin took a potentially stressful situation and made it a pleasure. In addition to that, the rest of the staff were very helpful and personable scheduling lessons and everything necessary to make this a smooth and easy process. Thank you, Bulldog, your customer service and services provided are appreciated. I would recommend Robin and Bulldog to anyone looking for driver training. Read Less
