Hi there.
It could be anything. How is your relationship with your brother?
Sometimes a dog just gets vibes and dislikes someone.
My dog is aggressive towards males but he witnessed a lot of abuse and was subjected to some himself. It’s something we’re working on. I’ve found if I’m comfortable around them, and sometimes if I introduce them to him he is a bit more at ease.

Hope that helps a little?

Would your brother be up for giving your dog high value treats ie chicken? Your dog will be very in tune to how you’re feeling, he’s protecting his mum. However if he can associate him with good things especially food it will make life easier for you. Dogs are forgiving little souls & bribery goes a long way!! If he’s not food motivated maybe a favourite toy? This all depends on your brother helping though, if not try distracting your dog when he’s around. Spend some time teaching your dog to focus on you…..for example “to me” When he makes eye contact give a treat & lots of praise. Keep doing this over & over till you can control your dogs focus. I know it sounds silly but when you train them to look at you on command it breaks the cycle of the the dog foucusing on your brother. Hope this helps ☺️
