You can locate the main stem of the plant and remove any side shoots that are growing from this main vine.
Remove the first 4 to 6 shoots growing closest to the base of the plant and leave all the rest.
Plants grow quickly, so you may have to do this more then once.
I also may suggest putting up a temporary fence or trellis to gently place the cucumber vines on.
This article will help you.

For future planting, I would suggest growing a ‘Bush Cucumber’. I have raised beds and this type of plant stays much more contained and still produces lots of cucumbers.
