Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Need pruning advice please!, 1 by kellydz

This burning bush is huge. I would guess about 9 ft? It is located right next to our driveway and impedes the view when trying to back out into the road. I would like to maintain a nice rounded shape around 6 feet tall. But the little I know about pruning (and it is very little) says that just hacking off the top 3 feet isn't correct. So how might I go about getting it whittled down to a more manageable size? And when is the best time for this shrub? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
