Default small pruner

We have a couple of Jasmin plants like that. Yours looks very nice. I agree that a hand pruner (secateurs) would work best. just cut the individual vines that you think are getting too long (or wrap them back into the trellis as suggested). Jasmin is very hardy and responds to pruning very well.

Ours are on a trellis away from the house. The last hurricane beat them up pretty badly and pushed the trellises over to a 45-degree angle. I had to cut a good portion of the plant away in order to stand them back up straight. The plants recovered nicely. They can really take a beating and come back strong.
