A variable power source attachment for providing and disconnecting power to a correctional animal collar is provided. In one embodiment, the variable power source attachment includes a first positive terminal and a first negative terminal coupled to the correctional collar; and a second positive terminal and a second negative terminal coupled to a power source. A relay is disposed between the first terminals and the second terminals and defines a closed position completing an electrical circuit and an open position disrupting the electrical circuit. A processing module includes a communication module with a receiver configured to receive at least one signal indicating that a smoke alarm has been activated; and a processor to switch the relay from the closed position to the open position, upon receipt of the at least one signal.
