Our dog and I have an agreement where she just balances on the front and I don’t break too hard.
We use a harness with a carabiner attaching her to a slack bungee and that means she knows where the middle of the rack is. Sometimes she stands up but mostly she sits or lays down, for long days I put a small bed pillow thing down for her as it is more comfortable.
She is very chill but also I think it’s not super hard to train a dog to enjoy it, it’s like having their head permanently out of a window, encouraging them to sit on it whilst it’s stopped, giving them chew treats to focus on whilst riding are both helpful things. Also our dog doesn’t think she can get off of the bike she always has to be lifted off.
She is about 17kg

Nice! Bit of collie in there helps I think, Collies are genetically programmed to enjoy riding on quad bikes, tractors, or TBH anything that moves them in the direction of a more fun walk
Our old lady dog used to strongly dislike going on any cargo bike, but now shes genuinely ancient shes finally caved and will 'allow us' to put her in front of a long john, if road is smooth she just curls up and watchs world go past.

She's only 7kg, so no too much weight shifting around. But it's definitely hard to get her to stay still! I think the trailer didn't work because she was always trying to stand on her legs to see out the top. I'm hoping if she can see easily out front, she will settle more - but maybe wishful thinking.
@VeloSurMer that's great to hear, do you have any photos of your setup?
