My dd is three, and impluse control is something she needs work on also! Something that has worked well for us is her "Rock Jar". I took a plastic jar and marked a line in the middle and filled it with rocks to that line. When she breaks a house rule, or some other infraction, SHE takes a rock out. Also, if she does something good, she gets to put one in. Every morning we review the house rules.
Friday is prize day. If the rocks are above the line, she gets to pick one out. She hates having to take a rock out and when I give her a warning about it, she does not like that!
Children also need to be constantly reminded of what they should not do and your expectations. Even if you have told him before, everytime he goes outside, repeat the rules. I know he will find something else, but he's also a boy!
I also have dd terrified of the Super Nanny.....and Camp Kretz......he he!!
