You can comfortably leave a grown dog in a crate for up to 8 hours w/o issues typically.

For a dog with a small bladder and a lot of energy (as all terrior breeds do), I honestly believe that you're going to run into problems in the long run if keeping the dog in a crate for eight hours on a regular basis. Dogs are roaming animals (especially terrior breeds), it's in the genes, so for the dog's sake, I'd highly recommend only create training when somebody is home to let the dog out to exercise and roam around every couple of hours.
