I have a brake controller and my truck battery provides the electricity for the electric brakes. I do not have a battery on the front of the trailer and when I pull the pin out the brakes lock up.

Not just wrong, but legally WRONG. Without the trailer battery when the truck and trailer separate the cord will unplug and your emergency brake disconnect will stop working. Put the battery on the frame where it belongs.
