You have two options.

1) Up your transmission power, increase your antenna size. I'd play with the antenna before trying to amplify, for obvious reasons.

2) buy a tracker that interfaces with the cellular network. This requires a SIM card and a contract. Here is one model from the dozens sold on amazon.

>Acquire a phone that works with one of the cell providers that offer free monthly service, the smaller the better
>Acquire otterbox or other waterproof case for phone
>Attach to dog collar/girlfriend's car
>Use tracking app to track dog/cheating girlfriend
