Dustin Johnson, founder and president of Club Pups Lake Norman, joined Good Morning LKN to share how a post-corporate leap of faith turned into one of the area’s growing dog daycare and boarding brands. From opening the original Lake Norman location on Williamson Road to breaking ground on a new Mooresville facility and launching franchise opportunities, Dustin highlighted Club Pups’ unique socialization-first model, where every dog gets its own suite and structured play throughout the day. He also shared how community partnerships, strong team culture, and a love for dogs have helped shape the business into a trusted Lake Norman small business with room to grow.
