I'm not sure if you can use the retraining rules on ACs. You can, however, simply release your current AC and get a new one with the feats you want. All it would set you back is the time it takes to retrain tricks; it would only start with bonus tricks already trained, and you can train its other tricks at a rate of one trick per rank in Handle Animal per scenario.

As far as I can tell, the only way to do so would be to completely train out of and then back into a class. Which is not feasible in PFS. There may be a FAQ on this, but after looking over Ultimate Campaign I cannot see another way to do so. If there's no FAQ but it is intended to be able to do so I would imagine it would be similar to how a Summoner retrains their Eidolon.
EDIT: I did not know that RDN, as I have no AC characters. Thanks for the info.

Hmm okay. I was thinking of retraining its 3rd level feat so it knew Improved Unarmed Strike so it could then learn Dragon Style to be better at charging stuff. As I am dipping into Cavalier for an Axe Beak (got the paperwork for it) and since it is my fifth level I was thinking of taking Boon Companion which increases the ACs effective level by +4 at most making it a 5th Level Axe Beak, its 4th level Ability Point Increase going into Intelligence. Though if it is not allowed to be done that way then that is all right.
I don't see why Tactical Monkey cannot spend five prestige points to swap the 3rd level feat gained for his Boon Companion (The Axe Beak).
You may change one feat to another through retraining. Retraining a feat takes 5 days (5PP), with a character who has the feat you want. The old feat can't be be one you used as a perquisite for a feat, class feature, archetype, prestige class, or other ability. If the old feat is a bonus feat granted by a class feature, you must replace it with a feat that you could choose using that class feature.
Note that this retraining is unrelated to the fighter ability to learn a new bonus feat in place of an old one instantly when the character gains an appropriate feat in place of the old one at certain class levels. That class ability is free happens instantly when the character gains an appropriate fighter level, doesn't require a trainer, and can happen only once for any appropriate fighter level. Retraining a feat requires you to spend gp, take time, requires a trainer, and can happen as often as you want.
I also believe Boon Companion allows him to do this "trick" for wanting to use the "check" system of the feat to catch it 4th level of the Companion when it gains its +1 INT, to then retrain the 3rd level feat for 5 Prestige Points.
So it could be like say:
1st Level: Weapon Focus
3rd Level: Skill Focus (Perception) (At 4th level Retrain to Improved Unarmed Strike)
5th Level: Dragon Style (Allows charging through allies without harming them, can also charge/run/withdraw over rough terrain unhindered)
Boon Companion adds +1 level then checks. The check is the feat making sure the overall character level is not exceeded by the maximum for the Animal Companion's level (Original Level + 0-4) as a Boon Companion would grow up in levels until the fifth level.
Your bond with your animal companion or familiar is unusually close.
Prerequisites: Animal companion or familiar class feature.
Benefit: The abilities of your animal companion or familiar are calculated as though your class were 4 levels higher, to a maximum effective druid level equal to your character level. If you have more than one animal companion or familiar, choose one to receive this benefit. If you lose or dismiss an animal companion or familiar that has received this benefit, you may apply this feat to the replacement creature.
Special: You may select this feat more than once. The effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a different animal companion or familiar.
