I have a male and female vine at home. They have been there for 2 to 3 years and have not been trained or pruned ever. I was going to severely prune them and then keep them under control. Is this a good idea?

You will find they will become a tangled mess if not pruned annually. And you need to open the vines up to allow bees in for pollination. Try and train in to a T shape and remove all growth older than about 1 year, then just allow five or six laterals to continue on and bear the fruit. It's really a winter job so wait until the vine is dormant.
