Lock him in your house, or give some training to the poor animal

If by compound, you mean your yard or any enclosed area where you want the dog to remain, then you need to train the dog where the boundaries are. Dogs like boundaries, and they establish their territory within those boundaries. It will take patience and consistency. For example, put the dog on a sit-stay command while you go out the gate and do not let him come with you. Praise extensively when you come back in the gate. When you have done this many times, you can start putting the dog on a stay command when you go out the gate and leave it open a little bit. My dog knows that he is allowed to wait at the gate when it is open, but he is not allowed to come outside the gate unless I call him to get into the car.
Another option is to use the invisible type fencing with a collar that shocks the dog when they try to cross the line. The problems with this method are that it is negative training (punishment for being bad instead of praise for being good) and it's not effective with some dogs because it's only a momentary shock when they jump the boundary, then they won't return because they'll only get shocked again coming back in.

The simplest way is to train your dog. Obedience classes are available in a variety of places and instructors can help you learn how to command your dog to not leave your “compound.” Then again, putting up a fence is simpler. There are other options (less impressive but generally effective last resorts) such as sonic/electric fences and receiving collars. A “light” shock is said to be applied (an invisible fence), but unless you’re will to put it on and try it out to see how it really feels then the “dog” would most likely be too happy to oblige. Old dogs can learn new tricks with time and consistency. Teach your dogs the basics of walk, stop, sit, and stay. Use whatever words or had signals you feel comfortable with but maintain them always during the entire lifespan of your relationship together. It will take some time, but he or she will learn as will you.

You can't. Just about every dog will be/can be de distracted by someone or something and run away even if they're not trained to. Could you ever, totally 100% trust, let's say a small child or a toddler to do what you teach them? The answer is no, and dogs are the same way. Of course training is super important and really does work, but I'm saying that training is never ever 100% foolproof, no matter what you hear. I've seen plenty of dogs who don't go out on leashes and who are supposed to be trained to not leave their homes almost get hit by a car after escaping their backyard. They don't purposely want to leave, it's just doggie curiosity. It's better to be safe than sorry in this situation, really. Good luck! :o)
