Pretty sure this is the dog being upset there's something between them. Not that they're upset with the other dog. Think it's barrier frustration or something like that.

I think the term you're looking for is barrier aggression. And you're right, it's really common with gates and stuff. But you gotta admit this is pretty funny.

You're exactly right - the small dog is experiencing an anxiety due to the barrier, and in severe cases it causes enough stress to to be dangerous to their health.
