How to stop my husky from pulling and getting excited at the dog park?

Question

He is a puller. He was on a pronged collar for a year after a couple months of loose leash work (endless stopping and starting no treats thru) and I have been working intensively on this skill and he seems to be getting it down! He will heel and listen well without his prongs. But he would pull on his way into the dog park and woo woo at the dogs (playfully like a husky does) even if a pronged collar which made him a bit agaited due to being prickled over and over. How can I teach him to stop ? Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | neutered | 3 years and 9 months old | 60 lbs

Timber is a very handsome dog! He sounds full of energy and voice! Pulling is a very common problem with huskies unfortunately and can be difficult to manage. I would recommend you try a Gentle Leader if Halti - these are a head collar-like device that can be very useful in retraining pulling dogs. You can also consider working with a dog trainer one on one to gain better control of Timber and make him more responsive to commands and direction.
