Everyone, Human and Dog alike, can balance on a bike when things are 'going well' ...
It's when something unexpected happens - gust of wind, hit a small rock, turn on gravel,
get attacked by a loose dog, THEN your balance can become shaky.

As for the "safety harness" ...



MY eyes tell me there's enough slack in that hookup to allow the dog to
*flip* completely over the side of the seat.

You (and the Pups) might be a LOT better off (and SAFER) with one of the
"Springer" hookups to allow Fido to run along beside the bike - using his/her
own footsies for power. Several PTers use those (anna_66, ramanth).
