PFS StandardBeastmaster

Source Player Core 2 pg. 188
You attract the loyalty of animals, and as your powers increase, you can command more of them, briefly inhabit their body to perceive what they perceive, and even communicate with them over vast distances.

Additional Feats

Source Player Core pg. 215 2.0
Some archetypes include a list of “Additional Feats” that appear in other sources. The list includes each feat’s level, which might be different than normal when gained from the archetype. You can take the feat as an archetype feat of that level, meaning it counts toward the number of feats required by the archetype’s dedication feat. When selected this way, a feat that normally has a class’s trait (such as the fighter trait) doesn’t have that class trait.

Note: Warden spells granted by any of these feats are beastmaster focus spells for you.

PFS StandardBeastmaster Dedication Feat 2

Archetype Dedication 
Source Player Core 2 pg. 188
Archetype Beastmaster
Prerequisites trained in Nature

You gain the service of a young animal companion that travels with you and obeys your commands. Contrary to the usual rules for animal companions, this feat can grant you a second animal companion. If you ever have more than one animal companion, you gain the Call Companion action.

Certain beastmaster feats give you focus spells. When you gain your first beastmaster focus spell, you become trained in the spell attack modifier and spell DC statistics. Your key spellcasting attribute for beastmaster archetype spells is Charisma, and they are primal spells. You can Refocus by feeding, playing with, or otherwise tending to an animal companion.

Beastmaster Animal Companions

If you're playing a beastmaster, you determine the statistics and abilities of your animal companions. As a beastmaster, it's possible for you to have more than one animal companion at one time—up to four companions—but only one of those companions, your “active companion,” follows you during exploration and in encounters; the rest are nearby, usually foraging or hunting for food. As soon as you gain a second animal companion from the Beastmaster archetype, you also gain Call Companion to switch your active companion. These rules apply to all your companions, regardless of whether you got the animal companion from the beastmaster archetype or from another source.
