Blackberries (and their cousins, tayberries and wineberries (all rubus family) are very easy to prune, once you understand their fruiting pattern.
Year 1: Non fruiting growth
Year 2: Fruit on previous year’s wood, new non fruiting wood produced
Year 3: Fruit on previous year’s wood, new non fruiting wood produced
Etc.
So, once your blackberry has fruited, cut the cane/shoot on which it has fruited right back to the ground, and tie in the new growth, giving it light and air so you get well-pollinated, sweet and accessible fruits.
This also applies to SUMMER fruiting raspberries, but not the autumn fruiting (primocane ) varieties.
Hope this helps!
