A druid's -first- companion comes fully trained; all of the trick slots are filled. If you need to replace your companion for some reason, the new one comes with the bonus tricks already known (the tricks listed on the animal companion advancement table). Then you have to train any other tricks with the handle animal skill, as per the skills chapter in the Core RuleBook. In PFS, you can train once for each rank you have in handle animal between two scenarios.

Your first animal companion comes with (3x int score)(whistles innocently) tricks, + bonus tricks. If your animal has at least a 2 int, you can select the feats that make up combat training (attack, come, defend, down, guard, and heel.) and voila, its combat trained. I would recommend using the bonus trick on taking attack twice, otherwise your critter won't attack a large number of monsters you may come across.

If you, for some reason, need to replace your animal companion (and you BETTER have a good reason for the loss...), It starts with bonus tricks and you can retrain it with new tricks up to the number of ranks you have in handle animal every session.
