Seriously there's just no way to discipline a dog or cat after the fact. They would never understand why you are disciplining them. If you catch them in the act you can tell them no, or make a loud noise to frighten them off of whatever they are into.

For cat treats I recommend you store them in a sealed food storage container. They will keep longer enabling you to buy more in bulk and it will help to curb temptation.
