Happy birthday to the crazy high blood pressure inducing lurcher in my life!

Happy birthday to the crazy high blood pressure inducing lurcher in my life!
This is Harlow, born in 2018 and rescued from a farm as a pup. Extremely prey driven but also the most gentle and lazy boy at home. He is very vocal at times but also so quiet more often than not. Never had a dog so well behaved as him.
My 9 months old saluki x cannot wear a collar without choking herself. She walks nicely on a loose leash for about 85% of the time, until she sees a blowing leaf or a cat and lunges, and chokes herself so bad. We’ve used Martingale collars specifically for sighthounds of course, but it doesn’t help.
Right now she’s wearing a harness for all walks, but I don’t really like it as I have more control when she’s on a collar.
Any tips? I know that I need to keep up with the training of course, but with a saluki you can never get the type of discipline that prevents sudden jumps or lunges.
