No, that would be excruciatingly painful to the dog, and would have severe risk of complications such as uncontrolled bleeding and infection. You should have your dog evaluated by a veterinarian - it is possible the broken part can be bandaged or splinted until it heals, or the veterinarian may need to perform a surgical amputation of the tail (under general anesthesia and sterile surgical field to reduce the risk of complications).
