Yews & Junipers

Hello
These are not new shrubs....they are approx. 10 years old, same as the house we just purchased.
I have searched online and got several answers as to when to
prune these....

One site says remember to "prune in June"......

Another says late winter or early spring.

Your site says different.....

Now I am really confused.
Can you help shed a bit of light on this and why the different recommendations ?
I do not want to harm these but they really need reshaping.
We are in Zone 5 (WI)

Thank you
