If you're weak, meaning no strength in your arms you could put a small ribbon coated prong on the pup. BUT, under no circumstances should you ever pull or correct. Just walk at the ordinary speed and the dog will follow after realizing it's the best way to go. But have an EXPERIENCED trainer show you how to use the collar and how to put it on properly. I don't like choke collars for pups or any dog for that matter because of the harm they can do to the trachea. If the pup doesn't fight the halti it too can be the best tool. some pups fight hard against it and get hurt though so you have to watch for that.
Lots of praise and lots of treats, that dog will automaticalluy want to follow you.
