The present invention relates to a handgrip (1) for coupling a leash, comprising a body (2) with a connector for coupling said leash. The handgrip (1) is characterized in that said body (2) has an elongated shape comprising a grip part for holding said handgrip (1) with a hand, at least one end (25, 4, 8) of said body (2) having a recess (14, 23) with a first coupling part for cooperation with a functional member part having a second coupling part. The invention further relates to a combination of a handgrip (1) according to the invention and a functional element, said functional element having at a first end (3) a second coupling part for cooperative coupling with said handgrip (1) and at an opposite end (25, 4, 8) a recess (14, 23) with a coupling part substantially similar to said handgrip's (1) first coupling part for coupling another functional element. Also, the invention relates to a functional element for use in a combination according to the invention, said functional element having at a first side a second coupling part for cooperative coupling with said handgrip (1) and at an opposite side a recess (14, 23) with a coupling part substantially similar to said handgrip's (1) first coupling part for coupling another functional element.
