It depends on how you define 'improve.' If you neuter a male, then he will become less dominant, along with not having to mark his own territory every few steps. For a female, she will not want to mate so often, and just like the male dog, she will become less dominant. And she will also have better bladder control with the 'marking of the territory'.
A male dog will quit spraying (marking their territory). A female dog may be prone to increased weight gain.
depending on the dog, some dogs will change there attitude (they become more docile) this usually hapends to male dogs who get neutered but can also occur in bitches too.
A little bit, but for the better. They do not have the twice a year heat cycles, they cannot have puppies, and they cannot get cancer of the reproductive organs.
