If the tendon is cut through then nothing apart from surgery will stick it back together. One flat toe isn't too bad, so long as it is on a hind foot: keep the claw cut as short as possible afterwards as it will grow and grow as it isn't impacting the ground to keep it short. If it is a front outside or inside toe it can affect the dog turning at speed, and can get more damaged, maybe dislocated.

A stretched tendon can, with around 3 months rest, come back to how it was, but it's not guaranteed.

The hydro pool is great for the recovery of damaged tendons. No pressure on the tendons ATB

Recovery takes time and be sure the dog is 100% before you do anything.
