He must not be a very dominant male, and they know they can "steal" from him.
If you want the behavior to stop, you're going to have to become the "alpha" in their pack and tell them to keep away from him. As soon as they start approaching him, give them a firm command to leave him alone. Eventually they'll learn that they'll have to go through you to get to him, and they'll stop hassling him.

It's normal sibling rivalry and canine playfulness!
There's nothing wrong with them, they just love their brother!!
All dogs vie for attention and playtime, escpecially if one has a toy that the other doesn't.

jealousy. dogs are jealous of each other and sometime even people being around you.
