Dan, a very good description.  That is the way Leader taughtt me.
There were to students in my class who learned this
method.  The instructors did not feel the other members of
the class needed the training.  They were told to find stairs or an
escalator   When they taught us they told us to be very
careful because the dogs nails could get caught in the
steps.  They mentioned that an instructor had gotten a dogs
nails caught.  If it can happen to an instructor we users
must be even more careful.  My dog Shebe and I have been up
and down many times without any problems.
