I don't see a NOSEWORK forum section so since she is a puppy in training I will post here.
In the nosework video that I purchased ed and andrew talk about the sport in the west coast; which I am going to do. In the video all the training is started by touching the starting point as a signal.
However I noticed in all the videos of the sport that you start at a line and don't have access to touching the car bumper or what not. Since the dog is conditioned to start on the touch will this hinder my future with the sport?

No, it should not be an issue as you move along in training. That 'tap' is simply to get the dog to focus on the area you want them to begin to search. It builts excitement and when they hear the tap it's their release and at the same time you are giving them their search cue. Eventually your search cue is all the dog will need to begin. Their excitement for NW overrides any crutches like a beginning tap.

Here's a video of Andrew Ramsey working my dog at a training/Halloween party a few years ago. As you can see no tap is needed to cue the dog, we simply give him his search command and off he goes (despite all the noise distractions).
