"A recent report of the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation reported significantly more behavioral problems in spayed and neutered bitches and dogs. The most commonly observed behavioral problem in spayed females was fearful behavior and the most common problem in males was aggression."

I know I may get flamed for saying this.. but from MY experience as a groomer, when we've had crazy psycho fearful, hyper, or dominance from a dog, then the owner's got the dog altered, the dogs sometimes improve from these behaviors. I'm not saying it can be everytime because I'm not always observant on that fact. I've heard from other sites that it's a myth and whatnot, but this is just from my experience, not a global study.
