It's still a little early for spring (and therefore plant growth) to be properly underway - in the UK we've had quite hard frosts overnight this last week, with lovely sunny days to compensate, not sure what your weather's been doing. The soil in the pot looks a little dry, so keep up with watering well if the weather is sunny and especially if it's windy ...

I'm in the UK, so not sure if what we call blackberries are the same as what you call blackberries. Anyway, are you sure you're pruning them properly? For my blackberries, every winter I cut to ground level all the canes that have fruited. The new canes that grow out of the ground this year will fruit next year.

Turn them out of their pots, shake or take off as much soil as possible without causing too much root damage and repot into fresh potting soil, water. Keep them inside in ...

From your images, I have some difficulty to see good the plant, but: it seems you never pruned it, and I do not see if it is grafted or not.
prune all branches lower then 1 meter.
prune all suckers that growth from roots and soil
you have 4 main branches )or more) going up, from the trunk. You need only one. Start cutting two (e.g. the two broken branches), ...
