Bulldog aggression? Separation anxiety?

My boyfriend has two bulldogs. Maggie is 11 and Jethro just turned 4. My boyfriend has not been the greatest when it has come to training his dogs. Jethro seems to be very possessive of my boyfriend. He loves me but he also doesn’t like when we hug or kiss (unless he’s also in on the hugs and kisses). Jethro isn’t aggressive with me at all. He likes to rough house with my boyfriend.

The real problem is when my boyfriend leaves for work. Jethro loses it and tries to bite his hand and get aggressive as he is leaving for work. My boyfriend says this only happens when I’m in the house. Jethro doesn’t do it any other time.

Now my boyfriend also puts him in the crate before he goes to work. So when I’m there and my boyfriend is leaving for work, Jethro isn’t in the crate. He usually will try to bite at him as he’s walking from the kitchen to the door.

All of this is a little weird. Why is he like this when only I come over. My boyfriend has been putting him in the crate as he gets ready to leave. I let him out as soon as he leaves since I’m there for another 30 minutes before I go to work. The second I let him out of the crate, he jumps toward the door to see if daddy is still there. Thoughts? Ideas?
