Hi There,
I feel for you because I have a Bloodhound that is a sniffer/hunter by nature (as are Shiba's) and can't be trusted off lead. We, too, have other dogs that can be off lead, and it was important to us that Izzy (our Bloodhound) be able to run with the other two dogs. We solved our issue by installing an invisible fencing system (petsafe) that allows the dogs to roam a certain distance away from the house. I suggest looking in to this as an option as some breeds simply can't be off their leash without running.
Is your dog trained in basic obedience? If not, I suggest utilizing the SitStayFetch system and obedience training your pet. If you have done basic obedience, perhaps the program will help you to continue teaching your pup what is expected of him.
Keep posting and stay calm!
