I think for a lot of dogs it really just comes down to repetition. Obviously dogs, like any any other trainable pet, learn at a different pace, so comparing your dog's level of obedience to another won't do much more than test your patience. I've had some very very difficult dogs in the past, some that were just too uneconomical and destructive to keep, but I've also had a few that were very quick learners. It seems like your only options really are to build your dog a temporary restrictive area (if you don't want to spend much it's pretty easy to build fences out of wooden pallets and a bucket of cheap nails, you can find those up for grabs behind damn near any department store / retail outlet), buy your dog an invisible fence system, or keep your dog on a leash when its outside and take it around exploring the area so it's not so eager to explore at its own leisure.
EDIT: Dog whistles are a good suggestion and may be one of your better options. Try it out, they're cheap.
