Walking on a leash without pulling...I feel like we have tried everything

Trying to walk Lance on a leash can be a challenge, if he is already not worn out. He thinks everyone should say hello to him. We have two dogs Lance plays with, so when we go for a walk towards their house he automatically thinks he is going over there to play and pulls me there. I have tried making him sit and wait until he doesnt pull but that doesnt work. I have tried turning him around to walk in the opposite direction and then go back the way we were waling. I use a regluar leash not a retractable leash. Do you think I need to use a harness?

Lance just gets so excited to see everyone and of course then he barks his head off like hey look at me!!

Anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this behavior? Lance is 2 1/2 years old as well.

She had some really bad habits,including pulling hard on the leash.I could not believe the drastic change in a matter of a couple of weeks. It was the best thing we ever could have used. She,also, wears a harness full time..Bethany
