Advanced Maneuver Knockdown
Source Core Rulebook pg. 216
Requirements The animal companion’s last action was a successful jaws Strike
The wolf automatically knocks the target of its jaws Strike prone.
Please note this is an Advanced Maneuver that companions do not get automatically: You need to take Incredible Companion (Druid 08) or a similar feat to make your companion Nimble or Savage to get access to maneuvers like this.
Also remember that companions only get two action, so using this ability basically requires both of them (first action needs to be a successful bite, and the second is the actual trip) and normally one of your actions to command it in the first place.
Finally, by the point this becomes an option, fighters would soon be getting access to Knockdown (Fighter 04) + Improved Knockdown (Fighter 10) combination.
