Congrats on your new baby and welcome to YT!
You are correct in being concerned about trachea collapse. With that said, I would recommend you look for a harness in the cat department of your local or area pet store. That is where I found a harness for our new baby. I was worrying about the same thing before we brought our baby home and I believe everyone on YT would recommend a harness over a collar. We keep a collar on Princess Sophie but only for her tags and ID. If she wears a dress, it's a harness dress otherwise she wears her harness. It is really small and just what we needed for a 2 lb. puppy. I'm sure you will find what you need and I would recommend not using a leash on your baby's collar at all until you have a harness to use.
Good luck and enjoy your new pup, oh yes, again, welcome to YT!!!
