The best time is immediately after flowering (Weigela florida).

And the best method is regenerative pruning. Don't just head back the long branches. Take out some of the largest, oldest stems from the base of the shrub. If you do this a little each year, you'll regenerate the plant in 3-5 years, and the pruning will be a little easier each time.
