We've tried the traditional methods of disciplining Galen:
 1) say "Ga-len!" in an annoyed tone.
Results: cat ignores us.

 2) Blow in his face.
Results: cat gets pissed off and does whatever again, more-so.

 3) squirt with water.
Results: cat ignores us. Washes perplexedly.

Back to #1, I guess.

When straight water doesn't work you can always try adding just a few drops of ammonia to the water you put in a spay bottle.

You want it really really dilute so that it doesn't damage anything, but enough so that they can smell it. The idea is that the smell is unpleasant so they learn to stay away from whatever it was that caused the smell.

I would only go this route as a last resort though.
