People forget that you cant reason with an animal. It's useless to punish them for something they did 5 minutes ago, much less several hours.
That said, it's VERY effective to punish them immediately when you catch them in the act. I will chase my dog all the way through the house until he's cornered and then wear his butt out a little. It's important to just scare him rather then hurt him. Then he remembers.
