Well putting a muzzle on him when your gone is going to keep him from being able to drink water so you need to separate them not put a muzzle on him. It seems strange to me people always want to rehome the problem one. There the ones who need the help. You have to realize with issues like that he may never find a home, could end up being put to sleep or even worse abused physically. In my opinion before giving up a dog you should try everything you can meaning trainers and behaviorists after a regular vet check. But this is becoming a dangerous situation if your bf can not control his temper because if he abuses the dog not only is Toby going to have his issues he has now but then he is going to have fear issues. In my opinion if your bf can't control his anger it would worry me to the point of not having any pets or ditching the bf because something terrible could happen when your not around to stop it and that's not fair for any dog.
