I've used spring type clothespins by clipping the pin around the "trunk" immediately above a branch, and resting the pin atop the branch so it pushes it horizontal. Picture clothespins sticking out horizontally around the tree directly from the truck, with branches constrained to be beneath them, also nearly horizontal where they join the central leader.

I haven't done much in the way of training on my trees - and it shows. But, you can use a spring-type clothespin to attach soda cans to the miscreant limb, by way of its pulltab, and add whatever amount of water/sand, etc. you need to achieve the degree of spreading you desire.
