Whenever my dog feels hungry like we havent fed him in years or something he just decides to jump on the counter and get food. Or sometimes when he cant reach the food he makes my other two cats to knock them off the fridge or something. What should me and my family do to stop my dog from jumping on the counter??!!

Watch the "Dog Whisperer", or call him to be on the show. You will find reasonable ways to deal with your out of control pet. Believe it or not, it is YOUR fault this happens. But you can fix it.

Line the edges of your counters with PlayDough so that you can put a layer of water over the whole counter without it dripping onto the floor. Then plug in some electrical appliance and set it in the water so that the innards of the appliance are in the water and sending electrical current through the water.
Once your dog jumps up there and gets a shock, he won't be jumping up there for quite some time.
Oh, but perhaps if you do line the edges of your counter with PlayDough or even vegetable oil, he will have a bit of trouble hopping up.
Best of luck!

Don't hit the dog and also don't give him anything to make him sick - that is dangerous. Instead, try to "set the scene" so you can catch him in the act and correct him. Put something yummy on the counter and allow him in the kitchen to see if he will try to jump on the counter. If he goes for the food, correct him by growling "Baahhh" at him and spray him with a water bottle in the face. Keep doing this until he gets down. Once he gets down, praise him. Keep working on this and "setting the scene" and be consistent. Chances are your dog thinks that he is the dominant one in the house and can do what he wants. You need to make sure to switch roles with him by stopping this behavior. Good luck. Hey, you could also try calling Bark Busters dog training. They really worked for us and our dog!!! These are some of their techniques.

Stop leaving meals out on the counters and the desk. Instead, quilt the counters and the table high with wax paper. When she jumps up, she's slip. Yell at her when she falls off. If the kitchen is not a part of the move-by way of visitors lane to your residence, start coaching her that she isn't allowed within the room: discontinue her on the doorway and inform her, "No; keep out." and block her together with your body when she tries to get round you. Any time you seize her in the room, chase her out. It sounds silly, however I in finding that training works higher in case you speak to the dog. Inform her what you wish to have. It is not a command; it is conversation. "Sandy, you are not allowed within the kitchen to any extent further. No, again. Keep out. You bounce on counters and that's dangerous. You steal meals and that's bad. So now you simply keep out." the one command in there is the "stay out." it's used when the canine tries to move round you. If the canine is ever obvious to discontinue and go across the kitchen, reward her to the skies. Even treat her.

Smack him upside the head everytime he jumps up. Not enough to cause damage or anything, just a smack on the side of his head. You want it to sting a little. It's not cruel and dogs learn from this type of discipline. He won't develop any hidden feelings of resentment and keep it bottled up inside until he explodes...people do that, and your dog is not a person. He'll soon learn that everytime he jumps up...he gets smacked in the head. He'll soon stop jumping up.
To all the do-gooders who think this approach is cruel, go ahead and do things your way. I bet my dog behaves better than yours and shows the discipline and respect that a dog should have for it's owner.

Put cans (pop cans) on the counter then when he jumps up it makes a loud noise and scares him he will eventually stop in a couple of days

I find that when it comes to pets, taking similar disciplinary actions that you would take with people often works better than most things else. When my cat does something, we make sure he knows what we're scolding him for. When we can tell by his bodylanguage that he knows darn right what he did and that it was wrong, we discipline accordingly. Maybe scolding at first, then time-out, and so on and so forth. Don't be fooled.. pets can be much smarter than most people perceive ;)

Sprinkle pepper on it.
You really should feed your dog more than once a year, though.
