18 months is still quite a puppy and this sounds relatively normal. What I would do is practice during walks. She gets so excited because everything is new and wonderful!
So, for the walk, bring lots of treats. I find that boiled/baked chicken without salt or anything works well cut into kibble sized pieces. (Sometimes hard food doesn't present much of an incentive) Make sure she is safely on leash at all times as she may bolt across the street to meet another dog and other unsuspected behavior. I suggest the halti because it allows for minimal strength on your part and is comfortable for the dog.
Basically try and keep her attention as much as possible using treats and directing her face toward you. When she sees another dog, stop walking, have her sit looking at you, and give her lots of treats and praise for sitting calmly. She may be too excited for this at first so you might want to lead her away or ask the other dog owner to stop walking towards you. You would be surprised at how accommodating other dog owners are to help with this type of training. You can resume walking when she is calm, and stop again when she starts becoming excited.
That's basically it. Your goal is to have your pup know there is another dog but stay focused on you until you know the other dog is safe to approach. Don't get frustrated! She's a puppy and trusts you and it's important to not break this trust!
Edit: Just found this link that demonstrates pretty well what I meant. Good luck!
Hi ploppyun! We love this set up! She's pulled out of the lead only once when she wasn't well trained and only because a cat was taunting her. The harness saved her from slipping all the way. She's a pro at walking now. I definitely recommend both of them.
This is the gentle lead I use:
