Sorry I am a little late joining this thread. 
I definitely used to be someone who would not be happy with others walking my dogs, let alone doing bits of training with them, but I have to say I have changed my opinion completely in recent years. I think it has been quite useful to let others handle my dogs out training not to say quite surprising at how well they cope with it.
I also when I have a beginner turn up here for a lesson will often give them one of my dogs so they can actually "feel" what proper heelwork is like. Its all very well explaining it to people, but I am a firm believer in letting them have some hands on experience of it.
So labnick I would say it would be better for your dog to be walked, and I would also give some thought to a kennel. I would be more worried about other habits like noise that might happen when being crated.

I absolutely agree, compared to being crated through a full working day then definately a walker or someone to let the dog out should and I am sure will come before any consideration of him working now or in the future, for sure.
