Have you tried fast.ai's Practical Deep Learning For Coders? https://course.fast.ai/ I think it's great for answering many of the exact questions you have.

I was able to answer my own versions of many of those questions after the first few video lessons. It demonstrated to us that our data is a great fit for machine learning. I didn't feel comfortable turning my experiments into something production-worthy but I feel confident enough to at least have conversations about it and sketch out a possible plan for what a contractor could work on this year.

There seem to be a lot of courses in this space - I'll give this one a try since you're recommending it. Most of them seem to focus more on the theoretical / math aspects of stuff, which is quite interesting but I find it more interesting to implement these things and solve real-world problems.
FastAI has you detecting dog breads in lesson one :)

People always bring up fast.ai because it's a good course and it's free. As someone who has gone through it, I can attest to its quality.
