From my experiences with Fred I'd say it's simply frustration. He knows he can't get there to meet and greet normally and he really wants to. Terriers do seem to suffer lead frustration - when I'm assisting at training I do see a lot of lunging, verbal terriers.

Fred also started biting so I did muzzle him until he learnt to deal with his frustration but I'm not sure that is the best thing for a young pup. Unfortunately at the time Fred was doing it I was told to give him a 'really good check' when he lunged and put him in a sit. Which is not how I would deal with it now I'm more h'educated.

Although not h'educated to know the best way of teaching him to deal with his frustration, sorry. :(

I don't think it's anything to do with being higher up, apart from the fact that it's giving him a much better view.
