You don't connect to the GPS satellites. On "client side" GPS is passive. Periodically getting the GPS position and sending it via mobile data is actually quite "cheap" regarding battery. Good GPS tracking hardware can get up to 40-90 days availability without having to recharge.
Then please point me to all of the cheap, long lasting options that are small and light enough to clip to a dog's collar and last for 40-90 days on a charge.
Edit: I'm waiting......these pedants like to pounce on my sloppy use of the word "connect" but haven't actually presented me with a product that proves me wrong.
And there are cheap options on aliexpress that are solar powered
