The present invention relates to a handgrip for coupling a leash, comprising a body with a connector for coupling said leash. The handgrip is characterized in that said body has an elongated shape comprising a grip part for holding said handgrip with a hand, at least one end of said body having a recess 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 according to the invention and a functional element, said functional element having at a first end a second coupling part for cooperative coupling with said handgrip and at an opposite end a recess with a coupling part substantially similar to said handgrip’s 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 and at an opposite side a recess with a coupling part substantially similar to said handgrip’s first coupling part for coupling another functional element.
