This way in case someone else goes out and doesn't tell him to stay he still knows not to go out b/c noone has said its ok. Also I might try teaching him to walk out the door intead of run even when you tell him its ok to go out. Again keep him on the leash and make him walk not run out. After these you can go outside and work on teaching him to go inside when you tell him to. This would be nice when he does get out.
My big dogs know when I say "in your pin" to head to their fence, however they bolt out any chance they get and do it running full speed ahead. I had taught one to stay in his pin until I said he could get out. He's rebeling now and doesn't listen to much but it was nice while it lasted.
Anyway whatever you choose good luck and keep trying you'll get it soon enough.
I totally agree with leash training. It has worked on so many things for us.
