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'.
