For a heavier dog I would use a support post or a structural piece of the cart.
We've always secured our dogs the same way as dbussone and kcrazorbk, with a harness.
If you're lucky, your dog has never jumped or fallen from your golfcart, but it could happen in an instant.
Please keep your dogs safe, they depend on us.
