You didn't mention when and how the dog gets out of the house. I will guess it's when you open the door to go out.
First of all when you have the dog on the leash, never let him/her go first. Humans always go out the door first!
Teach your dog to sit and stay. When you are ready to leave, put the dog in the sit position. Practice by having him/her sit a ways back from the door while you go out. Consistancy and repetition are the keys to solving this issue.
In addition dogs were born to run or walk, if the dog isn't getting enough exercise he/she will be more tempted to run out the door. The walls of your house are like a prison..and all he/she wants to do is get free!

When your leaving the house and your dog is going to be alone, put it in the crate. When around the house, put a long leash on the color so if it tries to get out, you can grab the leash. I always do this with my dog, my dog follows me to the door wanting to go outside. What I do is take a toy and squeek it a few times then throw it the other direction so I can make an escape while the dog is chasing after the toy! It works all the time. You can also try putting some sort of gate up at your door. Let me know if you need more help!

well, you could close any places he can escap from, and put him in a cage/kennel when the doors and windows need opening.
There is a type of collar that gives him a shock when he/she has reached some area, i don't think it would hurt him/her.

1. Put up doggie fences
2.Close the doors and/or windows
