I'm pretty sure he's saying that if it's "The big dog", it's "De grote hond", but, if iot's something like "The dog is big", then it would be "De hond is groot" Can somebody confirm?

I realize it's somewhat archaic, but the phrase, "the great dog," can actually have the same meaning as "the large dog" or "the big dog." This term would most commonly be used today in regard to a room--the great room--where the meaning would be "large," but it could still be applied to any other object.

Why is it groot with double o when "de hond is groot", but then grote with only one o when "de grote hond"?
