Worry less about what the dog thinks...it doesn't matter.
Worry more about how YOU can motivate the dog to give you behavior...right now you're just expecting it. Why? If anything, your bf has shown you one way to get behavior/bonding by playing at the dog's level. I would suggest you both continue to do that, with control.
Also worry about getting the bf on the same page, and I would suggest he be hands/attention off the dog, when you're around, until you're getting the behavior you want.
That, and, when the behavior is more important YOU have to be more persistent...than the dog.
