My dog loves people and will pull like mad while on the leash to get to them. I've tried many different training techniques over 8 years but nothing has worked really well aside from her aging. Does anyone have a good method to stop the dog from pulling to go say hi?

At this point you might be stuck with the cliche "you can't teach an old dog new tricks"
The most formative years in a dogs life are between 3 -12 months. Did you allow your dog off-leash time in the park? Were you quick to pull the dog back and keep it on a short leash?
Not saying you raised your dog at all wrong, but I find that dogs are very interested in things/people/situations that are not regular to them. If they have always been kinda allowed to roam around, then passing someone in the street wouldn't pike there interest...if they are always on a short leash, of course they will be interested in everything.
Having said that, dogs have different personalities. Much to Slivers horror, some dogs actually just want to come over and say hi.
