My dog is mean to my mom

[Behavior]

So I have a dog Caleb and he is 6. We got him as an adult. He is extremely territorial and barks and growls at my mom a lot. Especially if she comes near me. He doesn’t do it all the time but very often. Sometimes he pees a little bit when she tries to put his leash on. He has never but her but he is aggressive towards her. But when I am not there and he’s alone with her he isn’t aggressive but one time I was gone for about 2 weeks and my mom said he didn’t eat for a few days. I think he may be afraid of her. Is there anything I can do to get him to like her?
