A handle apparatus for an animal leash or harness, the handle apparatus comprising:

• a tubular-handle body including a first body end with a first opening and a second body end with a second opening, a substantially annular handle body surface extending between the first body end and second body end, and a central bore extending between the first and second openings and defined by the handle body surface;
• a first cord including a first portion and third portion, the first portion extending from the first opening in first end of the handle body, and the third portion extending from the first opening into the central bore, the third portion extending towards the second opening in the handle body;
• a second cord including a second portion and a fourth portion, the second portion extending from the second opening in the second end of the handle body, the fourth portion extending from the second opening into the central bore, the fourth portion extending towards the first opening in the handle body;
• a clasp connecting the first portion of the first cord and the second portion of the second cord;
• a third cord including a first cord end connected to the clasp, the third cord including a second cord end extending away from the clasp;
• a connector attached to the second cord end of the third cord, the connector configured to connect to at least one animal leash, animal collar or animal harness;
• a first grip section on the handle body surface, the first grip section adjacent the first end of the handle body;
• and
• a second grip section on the handle body surface, the second grip section adjacent the second end of the handle body and the second grip section laterally adjacent and coaxial to the first grip section;
• and
• an elongated opening in the handle body surface, the elongated opening disposed coaxially between the first grip section and the second grip section such that the elongated opening extends into the handle body transverse to a longitudinal direction of the handle body, and the elongated opening providing access to a portion of the central bore directly under the elongated opening.
