[Help] On walks my dog goes crazy as soon as another dog is around, what do I do?Dog Talks

My newly adopted dog (2 year old female) is very well behaved and loves people including myself and strangers. She listens to me most of the time except as soon as another dog is around she goes crazy barking, pulling on the lead, yelping, etc. She isn’t aggressive at all once she approaches the other dog but there’s no way to control her until she meets them and gives them a sniff. She’s not motivated by food during these episodes and she ignores my voice completely. Pulling on the lead just makes her resist more. I really don’t want to do a shock collar because she’s not harming anything but I am afraid of intimidating other dog walkers because she really looks like she’s going to attack them and some people don’t want their dogs playing with other dogs on their walks. Is a shock collar the best solution? Other recommendations?
