He is coming into puberty with lots of hormones. Most of this has to do with him trying to be in charge and leader of the pack. He does it to you because he does not think you are the boss, to where your boyfriend is so he is submissive. The best thing to do is get him neutered. You also need to be firm and enforce the rules to show him you are in charge also.
