Dogs are essentially pack animals, so the family they join become their pack. Each pack has its leader, the alpha dog, and it sounds as though he has acknowledged your mother as his alpha dog.
In the wild, the alpha dog is the one who makes decisions and protects the others. If your dog is feeling nervous he could be looking to your mom for protection, or if he is confident, he could be acting as a guard dog or 'back up'. It's your mom that will have the biggest impact on him. If she is the one that usually feeds him, try taking it turns to do this. If she is the one that normally walks him, let others take a turn. If this already happens, he has just decided that she is foundation of the 'pack'.
Getting him used to the idea that it is ok for him to go outside in the garden or backyard by himself is not easy but it can be done slowly. Take him outside, but stand a little distance from him. As he gets used to this, gradually get nearer to the back door so that eventually, you are not outside with him at all.
However, your mom will not be able to stop him following her. It's in his genes and he has chosen her. My dog follows me everywhere in the house, but he will go outside by himself. It's a compliment to your mom actually that he regards her in this light.
Hope that helps and good luck.
