I also notice that if you run they chase, it is a game. So, for mine to stop nipping at my ankles, or chasing me I stopped moving/running- the game got old, and they left me alone.
Perhaps if she tries to just bear it, let him do his worst while she is just standing there ignoring it all- not jumping, not moving feet away,etc ( which is hard to do, but in my experience worth it because it works quickly), and he will get bored and stop. As long as he doesn't bite to pierce the skin, if be bites and holds on, or shakes head and won't let go- it is more a dominance issue- and then your mother taking charge will help. Like the scruff, "no!" and so on.

Observe your mother's behavior to see if what she does
encourages the behavior.
