We started before he could jump up on his own. We put a treat at each step and used a LOT of praise. Going down was a little tricker, but the same principal worked. When he tried or seemed to want to jump off in the middle, we held the treat and he only got it if he went ALL the way down the stairs.
The next day we had to do it again once and he's had it down ever since.
Hope that helps.
