Working on the stairs

Jessie is having a hard time learning the stairs. She figured out how to come down pretty easily but going up is another story. I put her feet on the third set of steps and just start walking her feet up while pushing against her rump with my legs. She never helps until we're about 5 steps from the top then she's so proud of herself. She jumps around and wags her tail around and around like a helicopter. Then she goes about exploring each room. We've taken her upstairs about 4 times now and it's getting easier.
